The main part isn't Hernandez, he just will be involved in the trade - most likely. He's an ok starter, having gotten off to good starts. He's 2-0 with a 2.xx ERA. (2.30 or somthing)
The problem with dealing Johnson to the Cards is them being the best team in baseball, do they really need him? Is it viable giving up that kind of talent for him? IMO, I think the cards would benefit from the pitching. The starting 5 isn't THAT good. It's good enough to get good production out of, and solid enought o string some wins. Nothing more. BUT, the Card also said they coulden't afford him. The D-Backs won't take a high salary player, they want to unload the 16 million for next year. Cards have no chance at Randy.
Quote:
Rumors involving Randy Johnson are emanating from all over the country as Saturday's 4 p.m. ET non-waiver trade deadline approaches.
The Chicago Tribune reported the Diamondbacks have broken off talks with the Yankees, according to a highly placed MLB source.
The Tribune added, however, that didn't necessarily mean Johnson will remain in Arizona. According to the source, there are "a couple" of Johnson deals that could be completed before the deadline. The teams showing late interest were the Padres and Giants.

Padres and Giants have no chance. I don't even know why they'd throw them in there. At least, I woulden't think they did. Stranger things have happend I suppose.
