Hoffman Looks Sharp, Nails 2nd Save

Thursday night, Trevor Hoffman completed his second save of the season by striking out and giving up just one harmless hit. It was a very good performance by the 41-year old closer and he needed only 17 pitches for the saves.

Hoffman had good velocity, but not overwhelming velocity. He had great control tonight and that will be the key for Hoffman all season.

We still are not high on Hoffman because of his age and proneness to injury. However, he looks alright for now and should see plenty of opportunities to close games with the Brewers. Hope that he gets a few more saves while staying healthy and without blowups. If you can get to 7, start throwing him out there for trade offers. Dump him while he is hot.
