The return of Jose K

In the least surprising news of the the off season, the Pirates are bringing Jose Hernandez back for round 3. Despite all of my incessant bitching about him last year, he was a semi-decent utility guy. Still, who gives a flying crap about this? If they don't trade Castillo (and it doesn't look like they will), Hernandez will probably take at-bats away from a guy like Bautista. This is a move that's been made strictly because Jim Tracy wants it made. Perhaps Jim Tracy should ask Dave Littlefield for some bats.
