Mets Get Air Hernandez Back

Today the Mets traded Minor League infielder Greg Veloz for Anderson Hernandez. The Mets are hurting bad for some middle infield depth and Hernandez become expendable with the Nats because of how well Alberto Gonzalez has been playing.

Looks like a good move to me we need some depth that isn't named Angel Berroa or over 30. Hernandez doesn't hit much but is a great defender and has good speed. While Veloz is highly regarded by some, he has done absolutely nothing at the plate this year, so he basically is just a younger version of Hernandez and the Mets need a middle infielder now.

Hopefully this isn't a sign that Luis is hurt more then they are saying.

I for one am happy to see Air Hernandez back.
