What happened to this guy? I remember seeing his tough 3 years ago, and I thought he was sick. Then he went out with some injuries, and I never heard of him again. Did he retire? That sucks...
I think you accidently put this in the wrong forum ... maybe he switched sports? But really, I can't remember if they released him or if another team claimed him, but he is no longer in the Astros system IIRC.
Yikes, sorry about that. meant to click the link below. Moderators, can you move this to the Astros forum? My Bad..
Interesting. I was just trying to find out about this guy last night myself. Wasn't he released a 2nd time by us? I'd like to find out what happened. He was electric when he was younger and I was really hoping he could recover and pitch again.
I remember the play. The slide into 2nd base was unnecessary. After the side was out and he went to the mound, the first guy hit a home run. That was ballgame for Carlos Hernandez. His stuff was wicked and I though he was equal to Oswalt.
I was at that game ... what a shame, but I'll bet there are many pitchers that had similar things happen, but at lower levels so we dont hear as much about it
yea i thought his stuff was wicked as well. Damn, I hope we have something like him brewin in the minors..
