Roberto Hernandez: Season
built 185 days ago
-Roberto Hernandez - 326 saves: Age 38=0 saves. Age 39=0 saves. Age 40=4 saves. Age 41=2 saves. The three years previous to his 38th birthday, Hernandez had seasons of 26, 28, and 32 saves.
In exchange for Hernandez and Wells the Mets would give up Heath Bell, Anderson Hernandez and Double-A reliever Matt Lindstrom. Hernandez would immediately give the Mets' bullpen a boost while Wells would give the rotation insurance in case aging-starters Pedro Martinez or Tom Glavine need to spend time on the disabled list in the final months of the season.

Hillenbrand and Hernandez, second-half pickups this season, did not have impressive seasons. Hernandez, 43 next month, was picked up in midseason after being released by Cleveland. The one-time closer with 326 career saves had a 6.64 ERA in 22 games with the Dodgers.
Hernandez helped the Giants win the NL West in 1997 when he was acquired from the Chicago White Sox at the trading deadline. The 41-year-old Hernandez has held right-handers .220 batting average this season. Source: San Jose Mercury News Jul. 26 - 11:34 am et
The Dodgers called up Roberto Hernandez from Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday, according to Sports Ticker. Hernandez, who posted a 6.23 ERA in 28 games with the Indians earlier this season, will work in middle relief for the Dodgers.
This past winter, the Indians felt Hernandez, even at the age of 42, still had the stuff to help out their beleaguered bullpen. That's why they signed him to a one-year, $3.5 million deal. And the velocity of his fastball was, indeed, still intact this season.
