The News is reporting the Mets traded Gaby Hernandez and another minor leaguer yet unnamed for Paul LoDuca.
So what else is new? Another prospect who may or not haunt us for a proven commodity who's getting long in the tooth. I had the feeling we weren't getting either of the two catchers who had offers outstanding. That was weird to begin with. LoDuca's always seemed like a real character guy. He also seems like he may be following the Mientkiewicz career trajectory. But I tend to go with guys I've heard of who've done good things not too long ago, so yea for us for now.
