Blue Jeans Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Julio for El Duque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gateb Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Pretty interesting. This solidifies Aaron Heilman's spot in the pen for sure. How was El Duque doing so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Jeans Posted May 24, 2006 Author Share Posted May 24, 2006 2-4 over a 6 ERA. He's just a veteren pitcher that will be here for the rest of the year but will be a fix for us for sure (With the return of Bannister and the call-up of Pelfry late in the season). He did win a world series ring last year though, so he's got experience behind his 37 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's gotta be better than Lima. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Jeans Posted May 24, 2006 Author Share Posted May 24, 2006 Yes he is 37. But he helped the white sox get into the post season and he will help us. Good trade by Mets management. Even better if Soler steps up big tonight, there is your replacement for a strikeout pitcher like Julio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Hernández signed with the Yankees in 1998, he claimed to have been born in 1969. In 1999, The Smoking Gun published his divorce decree from Cuba, which had surfaced in connection with a child support case brought by his ex-wife; the decree revealed him to have been born in 1965. Despite this revelation, both the official site of Major League Baseball and ESPN still give his year of birth as 1969. Okay, so he could be 41...

Blue Jeans Posted May 24, 2006 Author Share Posted May 24, 2006 Minaya guarenteed he's 36 and then walked off because he said he was working on another deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
420 Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Minaya insisted that Hernandez is 36, which is his listed age in baseball's media guides. However, according to the Web site playerprofile.com, paperwork in Hernandez's divorce from his first wife filed in 1997 in Cuba had his birth date being in 1965 not 1969, making him 40. http://www.nj.com/sports/ledger/index.ssf?...9920.xml&coll=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
