Neither Carpenter nor Webb have pitched like they want to win this award (nor are their #'s overwhelming). Hoffman is crucial to the Pads' success, leads the league in saves (44), has an ERA under 2, has given up just 2 bombs all yr (the 2 in 2 pitches in LA last mon) and just 12 walks. Hoffman is the glue that holds this team together and is the clubhouse leader.
