Some bad news

Rotoworld relays that WFAN in New York is reporting that we've signed Roberto Hernandez to a one year deal. Since Hernandez had two year deals from contenders, Rotoworld figures the only way he takes a one year deal with a non-contender is if we've offered him a chance to close. Seriously, we just closed the door on the Jose Mesa era. I can't believe Littlefield would actually be considering giving Hernandez a shot to close. As a set-up man at a decent price, Hernandez wouldn't be awful. As a closer, he's a giant mistake. He hasn't closed since KC in 2002 and though last year he put up a good year, his numbers were remarkably Mesa-like in the four years prior to that. After three straight days of good moves, this is pretty disappointing.
