\"11\"<\/a>I am certain that on some level, my tardiness in reporting that\u00a0Anderson Hernandez<\/a>\u00a0is once again a member of the Mets is a realization that acknowleding it publically will prevent me from walking around pretending it never happened, which is what I really want to do.<\/p>\n

Once upon a time, I held a reasonable hope that the Mets might once and for all cure themselves of their penchant for carrying worthless middle infield reserves who play too often, only to see\u00a0Wilson Valdez<\/a>,\u00a0Angel Berroa<\/a>,\u00a0Argenis Reyes<\/a>\u00a0and now Hernandez come back from the dead, almost all of them polluting the\u00a0No. 4<\/a>\u00a0and\/or\u00a011<\/a>\u00a0jerseys.<\/p>\n

Hernandez was actually reacquired by trade late last week from the Washington Nationals, for whom he flamed out this season already — and to whom I was only too happy to see him go a year ago (and that was for\u00a0Luis Ayala<\/a>). I know, with the way things have gone this year this is about what we’re going to get but it doesn’t remind me any less of\u00a0Wilson Delgado<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Ricky Gutierrez<\/a>\u00a0stinking up the joint out there in\u00a02004<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hernandez’ addition to the roster resulted in a DFA for Berroa and for Anderson’s third different number with the Mets — he’d worn\u00a01<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a04<\/a>\u00a0in previous visits. The Mets also replaced the injured\u00a0Jon Neise<\/a>\u00a0on the roster by recalling\u00a0Elmer Dessens<\/a>\u00a0from AAA. Dessens was back in\u00a0No. 64<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
