According to Poughkeepsie Journal the Mets might be interested in Trevor Hoffman if the asking price for either Brian Fuentes or Francisco 'K-Rod' Rodriguez is prohibitive.
Omar, you can't do that. Trevor Hoffman, MLB's all time saves leader, is not as good as his stats. I'm not saying he hasn't had a real solid career, just that he is over rated. Hoffman has never shown he can close out a big game. I was at the 2006 All Star game in Pittsburgh where he handed the win over to the AL. There were two outs in the visitor ninth when he gave up the tying and winning runs.
Look at Hoffman in the post season: he is a mediocre 1-2 (W-L), with four saves, two blown saves, and his team is 7-5 in his appearances (Stats Courtesy Of Baseball -Reference.com).
The Mets have had their share of Doug Sisk, Armando Benitez, etc. If this team is to compete, Omar has to look at better options. Plus, bringing in a 41 year old cast-off is not the answer. Just say NO Omar!
