JPN366 Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 29, 2009 -> 09:44 AM) Fernando Hernandez has signed with the A's. I'm not shocked. He said in not so many words that he was happier in their organization when he was drafted by them in the rule 5 draft than he was with the White Sox. He basically said he was fighting an uphill battle with this organization to get a shot as he isn't a power pitcher. Good luck, Nando.

Good numbers with the Sox, but he wasn't anything special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good numbers with the Sox, but he wasn't anything special. I never said he was special, but he was a hard worker. He had told me that the White Sox organization was only interested in guys who threw hard. He also said that they were "different."
