Hey, if he plays in Colorado, maybe he can get a 6+ ERA?

Surely they have young pitchers that could use the experience rather than this guy.

the Rockies are finally starting to win some games, they dont need this guy coming in and NOT helping them, they are a relatively young team, Hernadez is on the down ward slide, it wouldn't be a good fit.

I wonder if the Rockies would consider trading Chris Iannetta to the Red Sox after the season for Clay Bucholtz and another prospect ?

No way. Iannetta is only the 4th Rockies draft pick as far as catchers go to play in the majors. He won't be going anywhere. Anyway, I have a hunch that with Manny out of the picture, the Sox will make a huge offer for Matt Holliday, and Buchholz would be part of that offer.
As far as Hernandez goes, why not try it? It would definitely be better than running out Valerio de los Santos every 5th day. In fact, anything would be better than that. There are a couple of guys in the minors that could come up though: Franklin Morales, Jason Hirsh, and Greg Reynolds. Hirsh was the main part of the deal that also brought back Taylor Buchholz and Willy Taveras, but I don't think that the Rockies believe that he's ready yet. Reynolds is on the DL with a bad wing. Morales has struggled with his command, but all reports say that he is looking great down in Colorado Springs. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Hernandez wearing the purple pinstripes sometime soon. It would be better than bringing back Josh Fogg, that's for sure.

I think Livan could be a great addition to this team. He may not be as good now as he once was, but he can take the ball every 5th day and he knows how to win. Right now, the Rockies are "thriving" on Cook and Jimenez. With Francis coming back, they have a pretty solid top 3. The 4th spot will remain with Glendon Rusch, another guy who just knows how to compete. The 5th spot has been De La Rosa or De Los Santos and neither can be counted on to provide a big game win IF NEEDED coming down the stretch.

Ifin this guy is picked up, the team that makes that mistake better hope that they can score more runs than he gives up, cuz he will give up plenty.
