Right-hander Manuel Antonio
(Montas) Hernandez did not play for the Twins, but was in their minor league
system for most of 1989. He was born in La Romana, Dominican Republic,
and signed with Houston as a free agent in 1978. He was very young, of
course, and as a result he was in rookie ball for two years and Class A for
three more. He pitched well in every year except 1982. He jumped to
AAA Tucson in 1984 and stayed there most of the next five seasons, getting some
cups of coffee in Houston in 1986 and 1987. His numbers in AAA were
neither good nor terrible, but he never really seemed to improve while he was
there. He made fifteen appearances with the Astros, seven of them starts,
and went 2-7, 4.56 in 49.1 innings. He became a free agent after the 1988
season and signed with Minnesota for 1989. He did all right in Portland,
going 9-8, 3.91 with a 1.15 WHIP. He was sold to the Mets on August 1 and
got back to the majors for one inning, retiring all three batters he
faced. That was his swan song in the majors. He remained in the
Mets’ organization in 1990, split 1991 between the Mets and Brewers
organization, and then his playing career was over. No information about
what Manny Hernandez has done since that time was readily available.
