This is a plea to Trevor Hoffman to stay in San Diego with the Padres. Where in Cleveland is a Pipes Cafe or miles of ocean? Where will you find another place like Carmel Mountain Ranch for your wife to sell clothes? Where will you get all the fan support from? What happens when you have some bad outings? The fans in Cleveland will not understand nor care as much as the fans in SD. I'm sure the fans in Cleveland are great but you are a Padre and the fans in SD treat you like an icon. In Cleveland you'll be just a hired gun. I believe you've gotten some pretty bad offers from Padre management and you should be insulted but you should not let that force you into a bad decision. Stay in San Diego and you own the city. The endorsements you'll get will make the money a bit closer. Bottom line, please stay in SD.
