Hernandez pitched the 7th yesterday, and heilman got racked up in the 8th.

So they gave up Nady for a guy to pitch the 7th inning?

Sorry, but I can't see it.

Like TM and I both said....Is Hernandez any better than what they had already or what was available for a lot less that they had to trade Nady?

Remember, Hernandez was here last year, and the Mets presumably opted not to re-sign him, figuring that what they had - Bell, Feliciano, Bradford, etc. - was better.

Don't misunderstand me, here...I'm not suggesting that Nady is the second coming of Babe Ruth or anything, but he seems a lot more valuable to me than a guy like Hernandez, considering the role that they seem to plan to use him in.
