Giants are the team that claimed Hoffman

And, if you're into wild speculation, then this note from McCalvy may suggest there's something going on:

Brewers general manager Doug Melvin has been uncharacteristically unavailable during the the past 24 hours

Probably nothing doing, but at least we have a specific team to speculate about now.

OOOH!!! I love speculation

especially of the rampant kind. I think we are going to get Buster Posey!!!

/end of moron

No way any trade actually happens

"That's not a weird stat. Rickie is a run-scorer," Yost said. "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter," Yost told reporters. "See, you guys have no concept. He's a run-scorer. So there's nothing weird about it. That's what he does."

If the Giants are giving away prospects for players.

It’s going to be hitters, not pitchers.

Why do you say that

My understanding is that they are loaded with pitching prospects which is why they are always paired with the Brewers in trade rumors

I read that as:

“It’s going to be (to acquire) hitters, not pitchers.”

I think I’d be OK if they let Hoffman walk, provided they get something halfway decent in return. I don’t know if they should spend 10 mil on a closer next year when they have a perfectly nice Cup of Coffey.

I'm also thinking they did it to block another team from claiming him

specifically Colorado or LA

I think that he means

That if the Giants were going to give up prospects, that they would want position players/hitters not pitchers. They definitely could use Hoffman in their bullpen though. Someone who is reliable. No way he would replace Brian Wilson as the closer though.

yes it does

I am not sure what belonging to the donkey he sucks, so well done.

who wins the award for best name?

I vote for Favre on the Vics, or Let Me See Your TDs.

Although both seem like they were found on the internet, or heard from somewhere else.
