Los Angeles, CA - Star reliever Ghidewon Hassan who came over in the infamous Sammmmmmy Sagar deal is now joining his set-up buddy Domingo Ruiz on the DL, putting him out of the entire season as well.
Ghidewon has never been hurt, never even had a hint of being hurt before being hurt three times in spring with the final blow to the head coming against the New York Knights.
Last year, Mr. Hassan went 3-1 with 6 saves and a 1.16 in 62.1 innings pitched striking out 71 all the while sporting a cool 1.07 whip. This year, Mr. Hassan in 11 innings for the Bruins this year was 1-0 with a 1.64 era, striking out 8 with a 1.18 whip.
His production continued to prove elite, and the Bruins will definately miss him as much if not more than Domingo this year.
This leaves the Bruins in a predicament. Having lost two of the best three arms out of the pen - Brad Anderson echoed GM Brouillette's comments by stating the team will "Give Manny, and Phillip" more work before exhausting trade options.
Jose Murillo is primed to take on a bigger role, but manager Brand Anderson has been quoted numerous times as being a huge fan of Jose in the middle reliever spot due to his stamina (laddddiiiiieessss!!!!).
With the recent free agent addition of SP Donovan Lean, the Bruins hope he can lighten the load towards the back-end of the pen and with the Bruins starters notorious for going deep into games, the team feels they can cover for Hassan (and Ruiz) - if all goes their way.
Obviously not having elite bullpen options will hurt as the season winds down but the team can only help they can continue to play in the 'everyone always hurt' BSA.
Now to try and replace Peter Larson... *Heavy Sigh*
