So li...Decent prospect - no<br /><br />Reach prospect - sure<br /><br />So like a failing 20 yr old in A ball that had potential. Or a failing 23 yr old in AA that had potential. Something like that would be the best case scenario. A player that was a decent prospect but now is a year or two away form being out of baseball.Harperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738813756060133236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207681.post-2707368300428582122010-07-17T07:16:37.913-07:002010-07-17T07:16:37.913-07:00Reality check--do you really think there's a w...Reality check--do you really think there's a would-be contender out there that is so desparate for a replacement-level fifth starter that they'd be willing to give up a decent prospect for Hernandez? Oh, he's been very lucky in the first half, but no GM is going to ignore his 2008-9 stats. When he brought us Chico and Mock in 1986 he projected as at least an average pitcher. Now he's regarded as exactly what the Nats paid for--a replacement level pitcher that they signed to a minor league contract as a possible fifth starter for a bad team. So the question really should be, do we trade him away for nothing (since nothing is all we'll get)?Brentnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207681.post-85386868095844879442010-07-16T11:02:24.360-07:002010-07-16T11:02:24.360-07:00Wrong - The correct answer is "What are the T...Wrong - The correct answer is "What are the Top 3 fears of the Dippin' Dots vendor at Nationals Park?"Harperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738813756060133236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207681.post-81872476130208147202010-07-16T10:49:20.830-07:002010-07-16T10:49:20.830-07:00"Death, Taxes, and trading Livan"
