December 6, 2005 The Orioles have acquired LaTroy Hawkins from the Giants in exchange for Steve Kline, according to ESPN. Hawkins will get to work with renowned pitching coach Leo Mazzone, and there's at least a chance he could end up in the closer role in Baltimore. |
|

|
August 22, 2005 Giants manager Felipe Alou said LaTroy Hawkins was not available last night due to a tender shoulder, according to the Contra Costa Times. |
|
July 17, 2005 LaTroy Hawkins worked the ninth inning on Sunday to earn his fifth save, his first since joining the Giants. Hawkins probably got the chance because Tyler Walker threw 31 pitches on Saturday. |
|
July 11, 2005 LaTroy Hawkins was away from the Giants yesterday because he was attending a funeral, according to the Contra Costa Times. He'll be back with the Giants after the All-Star break. |
|

|
July 1, 2005 LaTroy Hawkins allowed one hit and struck out one in one inning of work during his rehab assignment with Triple-A Fresno on Thursday, according to the Mercury News. He is expected to pitch Saturday before rejoining the Giants on Monday. Hawkins is out with right ulnar neuritis. |
|

|
June 29, 2005 LaTroy Hawkins pitched a bullpen workout Tuesday and probably will begin a two-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Fresno on Thursday, according to the Mercury News. He has been out since June 17 with right ulnar neuritis. "It felt pretty good," said Hawkins. "The main thing is how it feels tomorrow." |
|
June 25, 2005 LaTroy Hawkins threw on flat ground for a second straight day Friday and could be ready to pitch off a mound by next week, according to the AP. He's currently on the DL with nerve irritation in his right elbow. |
|
June 17, 2005 The Giants placed LaTroy Hawkins on the 15-day disabled list with right ulnar neuritis, according to the AP. The move is retroactive to June 10. Hawkins posted a 15.75 ERA in five appearances with the Giants before the injury. |
|
May 29, 2005 LaTroy Hawkins threw a scoreless eighth inning in his Giants' debut on Sunday. |
|
May 28, 2005 The Giants acquired LaTroy Hawkins from the Cubs on Saturday in exchange for Jerome Williams and David Aardsma. Hawkins is one of the best setup men in baseball but has been a failure every time he's been used as a closer, so it's unlikely that the Giants will go that route. |
|
May 10, 2005 Cubs manager Dusty Baker said Tuesday that he did not believe that LaTroy Hawkins was tipping his pitches, which was suggested earlier in the day by former Phillies manager Larry Bowa on a radio show. Baker also said that the struggling Hawkins would probably be moved from the setup role into middle relief. |
|
April 27, 2005 With Chad Fox sidelined with an injury, LaTroy Hawkins pretty much has the closer's job again for the Cubs, according to the Chicago Tribune. "A lot depends on the situation, probably Hawk and [Mike Remlinger], or even [Michael] Wuertz sometimes," said manager Dusty Baker. |
|
April 25, 2005 LaTroy Hawkins probably will have a chance to get the closer's job back with the Cubs at some point, but right now he's pretty much in a setup role to Chad Fox, according to the Chicago Tribune. "[Hawkins] is going to have an opportunity to throw some games too," manager Dusty Baker said. "It depends on how things go, probably most of the time in the eighth." |
|
April 24, 2005 Cubs manager Dusty Baker said Sunday that he will handle his bullpen by "situation" and would not necessarily use one pitcher for all of the save chances. The move came a day after LaTroy Hawkins blew his second save in five chances. Chad Fox converted his first save of the year on Sunday. |
|
April 23, 2005 LaTroy Hawkins blew his second save in four chances on Saturday, allowing a game-tying solo homer and a triple that scored the go-ahead run. Cubs manager Dusty Baker told the AP he doesn't know what's wrong with Hawkins, but hinted that changes could be coming. |
|
March 22, 2005 LaTroy Hawkins will take over as the Cubs' closer in the wake of the wrist injury that will sideline Joe Borowski until at least mid-May, according to the Chicago Tribune. Hawkins struggled as the team's closer last season, blowing nine saves in 34 opportunities. |
|
January 20, 2005 Cubs manager Dusty Baker has left open the possibility that LaTroy Hawkins could close games when the season begins, according to the Sun-Times. "I'm not sure yet," Baker said. "Everybody has mentioned (Ryan) Dempster. You don't know if he can do it or not -- he's never done it. Joe Borowski might be healthy, you never know. LaTroy Hawkins might be more experienced in that role than he was last year. [Hawkins] certainly has the stuff. It's just a matter of trying to close the games out too quickly vs. dissecting guys. LaTroy will be better, too, because he knows the league [better]." |
