El Duque

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Just thinking....if Hernandez was even somewhat healthy, we could either try him in the pen, or slot him in the fifth spot in the rotation and put one of the starters out there.

Think there's any chance we're going to see this guy, or he just taking the Wilpons' money and enjoying life in Port St. Lucie.

You'd think he'd be bored down there by now....

Didn't Omar just trade him to the Nats?

I tried to tell him to get the bunion done last year. GUH!

Bye, Orlando.

Was he signed for a one year contract? Or more?
