Kind of late but...

I know this is a day late, but yesterday was kind of hectic. Anyways, Roberto Hernandez was officially signed yesterday and Matt Peterson was DFA'd to make room for him on the roster, meaning that in all likelihood we will have zilch to show for Kris Benson one he's released (other than the absence of Anna Benson which, by most accounts, is probably a good thing). Peterson has been more or less awful since we traded for him, culminating with a regular beating in the AFL. As for Hernandez, well, the best we can hope for is that the change Rick Peterson made in his mechanics last year is for real and he puts up the same numbers he did last year, because we're certainly paying a lot for him. It was comforting to read in yesterday's notebook that he wasn't promised a chance to close, just "meaningful innings." Hopefully we'll have some to offer him.
