Edmonton has shipped 27 year old MR Jorge Fernandez to San Antonio for 18 year old IF prospect Takeji Miura and 20 year old Infielder Mariano Hernandez. Edmonton also included 750K in cash to cover Fernandez’s contract. This is Fernandez’s 4th club, spening parts of ’12 and ’13 in Dayton and Phoenix and the 2014 season in Edmonton. In 164 IBL appearances he’s 11-4 with 2 Saves and a 3.35 ERA over 209.2 IP. He’s K’d 123, walked 81 to a 1.26 WHIP. Miura was discovered and signed in September of this year out of Japan and has yet to get on the field. He’s lightning fast and has the potential to play 2B, SS and 3B. Hernandez plays the same positions. An unsigned 2012 draftee (19th round by Michigan) he was drafted out of Purdue in 2013 by Sacramento and signed, then released after the 2014 season where he signed a minor league deal with the South Berwick Vipers, hitting .308 in 26 AB’s before the season ended.
