SORRY KYRA

The Brewers just closed a deal today for closer Trevor Hoffman. He's the all-time saves leader, and they're only paying him $6 million with another $1.5 in incentives. One of the incentives is probably "Don't Suck", which is a good lesson learned by the Crew last year with Eric Gagne. Gagne, who at one point pulled himself from the closers position, was paid $10 million for 46.3 innings pitched and 10 saves. In retrospect, the Brewers would have been better off just setting the $10 million on fire, if they could have found enough lighter fluid.

So I'm excited about Hoffman. Even if he turns out to be another in a looooong line of diminishing return closers for the Brewers at least we're getting him a relatively low cost.

Oh, and the guy enters to "Hell's Bells". Hells Yeah.



He's also got this commercial going for him. Which is nice.
