Player Notes
January 28, 2010
Livan Hernandez wants to pitch for the Nationals in 2010, but the young ball-club does not appear to want him, according to MLB.com.

Our View:Livan went as far as to offer a contract proposal to the team during last month's winter meetings, which the club ignored. At age 34, and after many consecutive seasons of ballooning ERAs and batting averages against, Hernandez's best bet appears to be signing a minor-league contract with a club very thin on starting pitching.
December 1, 2009
According to Bill Ladson on Twitter, the Nationals have declined arbitration on starter Livan Hernandez, first baseman Dimitri Young, catcher Josh Bard, outfielder Austin Kearns and reliever Ron Villone.

Our View:None of the above players were Type A or B free agents, so the Nationals stood nothing to gain by offering them arbitration. It doesn't mean they definitely won't return, but for a young team with a very limited payroll, it seems foolish to invest in washed up, aging athletes. Expect the Nats to push prospects and go forward on the cheap.

Livan Hernandez gave up three earned runs on nine hits over 6.1 innings in Friday's 6-3 win at Atlanta. He had one walk with two strikeouts.

Our View:Hernandez was not really solid, but the Nats scored enough runs for him to improve his record to 9-12. He was winless over his previous three starts.
September 27, 2009
Livan Hernandez had a typical outing on Sunday, allowing three runs in six innings, but took a no-decision, as Washington lost 6-3 in ten innings.

Our View:The Nats want a veteran presence in their rotation next season, and even though Hernandez has posted a 6.00 ERA in 42 innings in Washington, there's a strong chance he will be back in 2010.
September 22, 2009
Livan Hernandez took it on the chin on Tuesday. The Dodgers spanked him to the tune of eight runs in 3.2 innings and he fell to 8-12 on the season after the 14-2 pummeling.

Our View:Hernandez allowed 12 base runners in his 3.2 innings and the outing marked his worst of the season. It's a shame as he was coming off back-to-back quality starts.
