Astros County has learned that OKC infielder Diory Hernandez has been released. Hernandez was signed to a minor league contract this off-season after spending the first nine seasons of his professional career in the Atlanta Braves organization. He was hitting .159/.240/.159 in 50 plate appearances for the RedHawks this year.
*Edit: It seems we were a little late in finding out this news. Zachary Levine announced this 44 minutes before us.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.

Earlier today, you may have asked yourself, "Why in the hell would the Astros sign Diory Hernandez?"
Zach Levine has your answer:
Gottfried also said that third baseman Jimmy Paredes suffered what the club believes is a minor shoulder injury with his winter ball club Gigantes del Cibao. He last played in Wednesday’s game and could miss a few days.

Astros sign 3B Diory Hernandez
Baseball America says that the Astros, in addition to re-signing Carlos Corporan, have signed 3B Diory Hernandez.
Hernandez will be 28 in April and comes from the Braves' organization, where he was signed as an amateur free agent in 2002. He appeared in 22 games for the Braves in 2011, hitting .212/.212/.333, while playing 3B, SS, and 1B.
In nine minor-league seasons, he has a .272/.323/.378 line, with 463K:169BB. In four Triple-A seasons, he hit .275/.315/.375. The peak of those four seasons was 2009, when he hit .319/.399/.422 in 54 games. In 79 Triple-A games in 2011, he hit .201/.229/.308.
This is probably the best news possible for Jimmy Paredes, who looks likely to open the season with the Big Club. If the Astros play him at shortstop, he'll compete with Brian Bixler and Angel Sanchez.
