El Duque Gets 2 Yr Deal

[love_that_reefer]

Orlando Hernandez didn't get a chance to pitch for the New York Mets in the postseason after suffering a torn calf muscle on the eve of Game 1 of the NLDS. But he might get another shot.

FOXSports.com has learned that Hernandez has agreed to a two-year, $12 million deal to return to the Mets.

Hernandez started the 2006 season in Arizona, where the 37-year-old struggled. But after being acquired by the Mets, he started 20 games for New York, going 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA.

Mets just threw money away. $6 mil for 160 innings of work?

Wow.
I'm available for less than half that. I'd take a leave of absence from my current employer and throw 160 innings for the Mets.

Paid twice what they should have, and now their top 4 is Tom Glavine-Steve Trachsel-Orlando Hernandez-John Maine.

And Pedro's on the way back.

Boy that's going to be ugly.

Trachsel isn't coming back, and we don't know about Glavine.
