Light at the end of a longer tunnel
The Milwaukee Brewers activated Trevor Hoffman from the DL today, who will no doubt help their struggling bullpen. But what does this have to do with the Yankees you ask? At the moment, Mariano Rivera is #2 on the all-time saves list, with 486. The one person ahead of him on this list is - you guessed it - Trevor Hoffman, with 554 career saves. Despite posting 30 saves in 2008, the 41-year-old Hoffman was released by the Padres after the end of the season and was signed by Milwaukee for $6 million for one year. So the game of catch-up continues, but Hoffman will be making Mariano's goal of becoming the statistical all-time saves leader more difficult by the day. Mo is 39-years old and is currently signed through the 2010 season. Assuming Mo does not make up the difference (he must collect 68 more saves than Hoffman) over the next two years, the Yankees will be faced with a possible problem: Do they sign Mo for 2011 if he is within striking distance but is not the same old Mariano he always was before?

    You can't let sentiment rule over
    logic. Mariano is great and has been a superstar for the Yankees. But when his time comes- and that is not yet determined- the team has to move on. Sure, if his performance shows that he has any possible chance of breaking the record as time moves on,then of course you give him the shot. But if that goal appears unreachable, then you thank him for his great years of service and let baseball put him in the Hall, which is a well-deserved honor for one of the great ones.
