LaTroy Hawkins : September 8th, 2008, 12:35 pm est
News: Doug Brocail (7-5) tossed a scoreless seventh inning Sunday to earn the win in his 600th career appearance. LaTroy Hawkins threw a perfect eighth -- hitting 97 mph on the radar gun -- and Jose Valverde struck out the side in the ninth for his NL-leading 40th save.
Analysis: Hawkins, despite his massive hot streak, is nothing more than a low-end middle reliever for the deepest of NL-only leagues that use true middle men down the stretch
