The Cincinnati Reds couldn't have received that much in return for a pitcher they designated for assignment after he posted a 5.18 ERA and walked 22 in 24 1/3 innings for the team last season and was optioned to Triple-A Louisville in early March, right?
Pitcher Zach Neal and first baseman Ibandel Isabel were the two players sent April 17 by the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for Hernandez.
And in his first 33 games and 116 at-bats for the High-A Daytona Tortugas - the first-place team in the Florida State League North - Isabel has hit 12 home runs, including seven in his past seven games for the Reds' affiliate.
