Livan Hernandez

[Roast]

So I was skimming over fangraphs and there was a pretty interesting article on Livan Hernandez. There's a good chance he'll find his way onto the Nationals rotation this year where he will have the chance to extend his crazy streak of 30+ starts to THIRTEEN consecutive years. That's nuts.

It's amazing what being able to pitch 30+ games a year can do for your career. The guy shouldn't even be able to touch a baseball yet he always finds a team to pitch for who is desperate for an innings eater.

 

He has started an impressive 95 games and thrown 568 IP over the last 3 years. It's like teams choose to focus on that while ignoring his 5.45 ERA and 1.60 WHIP.

 

You could probably find a AAA starter or two to cycle out who are fringe at best to fill the same role

his arm must be made of titanium... he survived jim leyland and dusty baker.

He's been awful these last two seasons. But up until then, he's generally been a mediocre verging on pretty decent starting pitcher, with a couple real nice years that no one noticed in baseball Hell (the Expos' last two seasons in Montreal).
