Is Richard Hidalgo worth taking a flyer on?

Free agent Richard Hidalgo had a grand slam and a double Tuesday for Magallanes of the VWL.

 

Hidalgo hasn't played in the U.S. since the Astros released him in spring 2007, but he's still going strong in Venezuela and is a candidate to surface next year. He's currently hitting .366/.427/.545 with three homers in 112 at-bats.

 

Hes only 33, and he had some very good years before he started getting injured. Hes putting up some nice numbers in the VWL, and I wonder if hed be willing to take a minor league deal with an invite. I know he "hits from the wrong side of the plate", but he could be worth it if he comes that cheap.

Older than Richard Hidalgo, himself.

He's putting up good numbers in the VWL because he's facing Rich Hill.

No way, but I am amazed he's only 33. I thought he was about 45.

[sneakypower]
