This is what will happen next; Hoffman will be told he is not the closer "for now". The team will then have 3 mop up relievers who they are afraid to pitch in close games (Suppan, Vargas, Hoffman). We will essentially have a staff with 3 useless relievers because this management refuses to cut a veteran. Hoffman will have one or two clean innings when we are up or down by 10 runs and he will be named the closer again and will blow one or two more games. This management is just too stubborn to cut bait. What exactly do we owe Hoffman, its not like he saved most of his games with us. This is a great example why this organization is "stuck in neutral".
