mookie3127 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I actually kind of like the move as an insurance policy.http://www.mlbtrader...-hernandez.html Braves Sign Livan HernandezBy Ben Nicholson-Smith [March 30, 2012 at 2:25pm CST]2:25pm: The deal guarantees Hernandez $750K, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports tweets.1:56pm: The Braves will sign Livan Hernandez, Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com tweets. The agreement, a one-year Major League deal, comes hours after the Astros released the veteran right-hander. The Braves have announced the signing.Even with Tim Hudson sidelined on the disabled list, it seemed as though the Braves would have more than enough starting pitching this year. However, neither Randall Delgado nor Julio Teheran seized the fifth starter's job.Hernandez posted a 4.47 ERA with 5.1 K/9, 2.4 BB/9 and a 42.4% ground ball rate in 175 1/3 innings for the 2011 Nationals. The 37-year-old Praver/Shapiro client has averaged 216 innings and a 4.44 ERA since 1998, his first full season as a big league starter, and has completed at least 175 innings in each of the past 14 seasons. He earned $1.25MM in 2011.N/m. just saw it in the spring training thread. drat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usmcdirtybird Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 The man can still pitch so why not give him a shot. He eats innings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falconsfan567 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Once Livan Hernandez throws a pitch in a game for the Braves he will have pitched for the Marlins, Nationals, Mets and Braves inside the NL East division. Lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
