Had to be done. Hernandez was great for us last year and should be able to fill Sanchez's role. He's not as good as Sanchez, but he's very solid and he had the same role for the Mets last year. Perez is a young, hard throwing lefty. Every team wants one of those. He's struggled, but who knows, maybe he can turn it around. I will miss Nady, but I don't think the Mets lose much if they go with a Chavez/Milledge platoon. All they are really losing is a little power. It's the perfect time to give Milledge extended playing time and see what he can really do. Both are defensive upgrades over Nady. I think it was a good deal considering the situation. Hernandez will not let you down, I promise!!
