Acquired: Originally signed by the Baltimore Orioles on November 28, 2001. Was picked up by the Atlanta Braves as compensation for pitching coach Leo Mazzone.

What Moises Did Last Season: Moises, the older brother of Seattle Mariners young phenom Felix Hernandez started the `06 season in Rome where he made 10 relief appearances and one start before receiving a promotion to Myrtle Beach on 5/24. Moises logged a 2-0 mark with a 1.93 ERA at the time of his promotion to the Carolina League. With the Pelicans Moises strung together a streak of three consecutive saves in as many appearances from 5/28 – 6/4. This past winter Moises pitched for the Cardenales del Lara of the Venezuelan Winter League and finished with a 3-5 record with a 3.14 ERA in 16 saves, seven of which were starts.

All About Moises Hernandez:
Older brother is 21-year-old phenom pitcher Felix Hernandez of the Seattle Mariners.
On 4/12/07 Moises earned a victory at Winston-Salem to improve to 2-0 on the season, just one day after Felix pushed his record to 2-0 with a complete game shut out against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway.

Me:

Moises Hernandez picked up his 8th win today. Felix's older brother seems to be lights out. Down in Myrtle Beach, he's got a 3.06 ERA. I feel he's a guy that's a possibility at getting called up either at the end of this year or in future years as a reliever or starter. What do y'all think? Please comment at www.braves-report.com
