Wow ..... I thought it would take someone's first born to get Hernandez. Apparently Rico Carty's dad is the new DustBunnies owner lol

**mac195** · 04-17-2011, 05:36 PM

Well, Keith has only two years left on his contract and '78 isn't very good. We might have been able to keep him on HTD but there always seems to be someone ready to overbid.
