I can’t believe this happened 10 days ago and I missed it, but I still need to alert you that Orlando “El Duque” Hernandez left Class AA Harrisburg where he was trying to work his way back to the majors with the 
Washington Nationals.
El Duque wanted to be a September call-up, but GM Mike Rizzo told him, “No.” That’s when he walked.
Sure, the Nationals probably have some young guns they want to test out before giving El Duque a shot. But guess what, he’s still got it at age 44!!!
Yup. He’s another ageless (literally) wonder. In 11 games and 15-2/3 IP, he’s allowed three earned runs (1.72 ERA, 0.96 WHIP).
Plus, he’s a crowd-pleaser.
So Cash, what are you waiting for?
