At age 37 and not good enough to make the roster of one of baseball's worst teams, it's worth wondering if we've seen big Livan throw his final MLB pitch. [Update: Nevermind! He's signed with the Braves already.]
He'd leave behind a good career. A two-time All-Star, Hernandez was the 1997 NLCS and World Series MVP for the Marlins. Much of his value throughout Hernandez's career, though, was his ability to take on a huge workload. He's racked up 3,121 2/3 innings in his 16-season career. He threw more than 200 innings in a season 10 times (and once he threw 199 2/3). Six times he threw more than 225 and twice he was over 245.
As for the Astros, their rotation appears to be as follows: Wandy Rodriguez, Bud Norris, J.A. Happ, Jordan Lyles and Kyle Weiland.
