...you know this was sarcasm right? Nothing short of acquiring Pujols, Halladay, Haren, and Hanley Ramirez would give us hope.

The Mets have traded minor-league infielder Greg Veloz to the Nationals for infielder Anderson Hernandez.


Hernandez is expected to join the Mets tomorrow in San Diego.



Hernandez, 26, hit .251 with 12 extra base hits and 23 RBI in 77 games with the Nationals.


The 21–year-old Veloz had been hitting .232 with 18 stolen bases in 91 games in Single-A.
....Umm, why? I don't get this. The only thing I can think is that maybe Castillo's ankle is worse than we think. Great.


On the bright side, Hernandez has already been on the DL this year....maybe he got it out of the way?
