Hernandez pulled off waivers...

[mistgl]

An unknown team claimed Ramon Hernandez on waivers, according to Jon Heyman of SI.com (Twitter links). However, the Reds pulled the catcher back off of waivers, so he'll be staying in Cincinnati.

The 35-year-old earns $3MM this year and projects as a Type A free agent, so it's not hard to see why the Reds are keeping him. He'll only cost $500K or so for the remainder of the season and could bring Cincinnati draft picks next year. Hernandez, a 13-year veteran, has a .288/.345/.458 line with 11 homers in 290 plate appearances so far this season.


Well there goes that small glimmer of hope.

Looks like what we have is what we got for the long haul.

As I throw on my pantshatting outfit...I can only say that the way the team is playing the "long haul" will not be that long...
