Adam Rubin is reporting that the Mets have reacquired Anderson Hernandez from the Washington Nationals for minor league infielder Greg Veloz.
Hernandez spent four years with the New York Mets after the team traded Vance Wilson to the Tigers for him. He spent parts of three season with the Mets, never playing more than 25 games. With the Mets, he hit .138 / .157 / .207, driving in three runs in 89 plate appearances.
Over two seasons with the Nationals, Hernandez has played 105 games, hitting .272 / .335 / .337 with 40 RBI. This season with the Nationals he hit .251 / .310 / .320 with one home run and 23 RBI in 255 plate appearances.
Veloz, 21, is a Single-A player who hit .232 / .297 / .303 with two home runs and 19 RBI. He also swiped 18 bases this season.
A-Hern must be better than Angel Berroa. Right? …Right?
