Wouldn't we all.

What would it take to bring Hoffman to Queens? Assuming only a 1-year contract maybe $5-6 million?

I think SD was offering 1yr/$4mil

So probably a little raise to get him to cross coasts. He’s not my first choice for bullpen help but I think it wouldn’t be a terrible idea as a one-year deal. At the very least, he expands the field as far as the available closer options go, and that’s not so bad.

Plus, I love me some AC/DC. I’ll take “Hells Bells” over “Enter Sandman” every day of the week.

'Catsmeat!' he cried. 'I see it all. It was that chump, Catsmeat.'

Agreed

But mainly because Sandman might be my least favorite Metallica song*.

* only songs recorded prior to 1992 were included in this study.

agree completely

Metallica is awesome, but Enter Sandman sucks. Actually it might not suck, but it’s been overplayed to the point of suckage.

T-Hoff? We're talking about T-Hoff?

Nope, Nope, Nope, Nope. No more crusty ass veterans.

I’m gonna channel my inner Mike Singletary here: (I’ll incorporate appropriate baseball verbiage where Mike “Old School” Singletary uses football verbiage. I’ll surround my words with quotation marks.)

" We cannot make decisions that cost the team – And then he comes off the “mound” and is nonchalant. No, you know what? This is how I believe, o.k. I’m from the old school. I believe this. I would rather play with “eight” people, and just get “thrown out” all the way, until we gotta do somethin’ else. …Rather than play with “nine”… when I know, that that person is really not sold out to be a part of this team. It is more about “him” than it is about the team."

" CAN NOT PLAY WITH HIM "
" CAN NOT WIN WITH HIM "
" CAN NOT COACH WITH HIM "
" CAN’T DO IT "

“…I want winners. I want people that wanna win.”

Bobby V, I don’t know if this came off as funny as Singletary’s rant, but I thought I’d give it a go. No one else was replying to AMS258’s post anyway. ;-)

I don’t want T-Hoff pitching for the METS.

It might be as funny as Singletary's rant

if you dropped trou while typing it in order to further motivate us. Personally, I say give it a shot, see what it’ll take to sign him.

Dear Lord friend

You don’t want me dropping trou. It’s like the Amazon down there. And I ain’t just talkin about the snake. :-)
