In an article from Corey Brock of MLB.com, San Diego Padres' closer Trevor Hoffman worked mostly out of the windeup instead of out of the stretch, something Padre fans have been used to seeing.
Asked how he felt doing something he hasn't done a very long time, Hoffman responded "I almost felt dizzy ... I almost fell over, it was a little weird but it's something we'll take a look at."
Hoffman is in the final year of a 2-year $13.5M contract he signed at the end of 2006. There's been a lot of talk that right-hander Heath Bell could see more 9th inning appearances this season, leading to the assumption that Bell is being groomed as Hoffman's successor as the Padres' closer.
