Luis A. (Mendoza) Hernández Pos: SS-2B-3B-LF; BS-TR Born: 6/26/1984 in Quibor, Venezuela (he'll be 27 in 2011), the day after the Mets took an eleven-inning jobbie at Olympic Stadium. Acquired: Signed as a free agent with the Mets on February 3, 2010. Called up August 26.

He cracked a line drive off his foot off of Tim Hudson, went down in agony, got up and homered. Next pitch! HA!! But he cricled the bases in torture, completed his glorious circuit, and his season was over. Broken foot. Last Word: It's easy to forget the bittersweet end to Hernández's campaign (it came in a 4-2 loss in support of a tough-luck start by Chillin' Gee), so it's unclear how whole he'll be come spring. He's become such an afterthought particularl after the acquisition of fellow-defense-first infielder Chin-Lung Hu that I felt certain he'd be DFA'd today, as any potential team trying to claim in waivers might fear his injury. But he wasnt DFA'd, so I suppose he's not an afterthought with the Mets What do you expect of Luis Hernández in 2011?

I expect him... to die.

not to talk?

Benjamin Grimm Jan 21 2011 04:15 AM Re: Expectations of Eleven: Luis Hernández

Full season at Buffalo... won't play for the Mets until after September 1.

A waiver claim waiting to happen.

Circling the bases on a broken foot for you ungrateful filth:

Ceetar Jan 21 2011 06:53 AM Re: Expectations of Eleven: Luis Hernández

I expect to forget he was a Met by my first regular season game.

TheOldMole Jan 21 2011 07:41 AM Re: Expectations of Eleven: Luis Hernández

No future, no future, no future for you.

Frayed Knot Jan 21 2011 07:58 AM Re: Expectations of Eleven: Luis Hernández

I expect him to get ZERO NYM ABs in 2011

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jan 21 2011 08:16 AM Re: Expectations of Eleven: Luis Hernández

I'm feeling more charitable than most of you so I'm predicting he'll have an Argenis Reyes 2009-kinda year: 9 games, 18 PA, 2-17 (.118/.167/.118) with a walk and stolen base.

metirish Jan 21 2011 08:21 AM Re: Expectations of Eleven: Luis Hernández

After Reyes goes down with a season long injury and Uranus is entrenched at 2nd base Luis will shine as the SS.

Valadius Jan 21 2011 09:12 AM Re: Expectations of Eleven: Luis Hernández

To be a similar ballplayer as Anderson Hernandez and shipped to the Nationals.

here's the video of the hr: http://newyork.mets.mlb.com/video/play. ... 9&c_id=nym it was september, so i didn't remember it... as for expectations? AAA, starting shortstop. plays well in buffalo. Reyes gets traded, and takes over starting SS position for the second half. 57 games .243 BA 31 RBI 35 runs 2 sb. good enough defense. gets replaces here and there by Hu and others down the stretch because he left his offense in buffalo.

Ashie62 Jan 21 2011 04:34 PM Re: Expectations of Eleven: Luis Hernández

He has no grade point average.

Fman99 Jan 21 2011 09:37 PM Re: Expectations of Eleven: Luis Hernández

I conflate him with every shitty Latino Mets middle infielder of the last 20 years.

Luis wants you haters to know his foot feels better.

MFS62 Jan 25 2011 08:36 AM Re: Expectations of Eleven: Luis Hernández

Luis is one of those longtime minor leaguers I like to root for to finally get a chance to play in the majors for a while. (More than a cuppa' joe) At the end of last season, I expected him to be the right handed platoon second baseman this year, sharing time with whichever lefty hitting second basemen were on the roster at the time. (Preferrably Murphy or Turner). Nobody they acquired since seems to be a strong enough candidate to become an every day second baseman, so my expectations remain the same. Later

Edgy MD Jan 25 2011 08:45 AM Re: Expectations of Eleven: Luis Hernández

I'd say that Emaus and Hu are ahead of him among righthanded platoon possiblitiies. Turner might be also (he hits righty), except he has options.

Yes, they may have the edge, but I'm still rootin' for little looie. Any player who breaks his foot, stays in the game, and hits a dinger makes my squad any time. Later

Lefty Specialist Jan 25 2011 09:16 AM Re: Expectations of Eleven: Luis Hernández

I expect him to be a footnote in Mets lore and toil in obscurity at Buffalo for the entire season.

Edgy MD Jan 25 2011 08:21 PM Re: Expectations of Eleven: Luis Hernández

Luis becomes the first guy on the 40 in camp. Hatey hatey haters.
