Reds Notes: Ramon Hernandez, Hardy

MLB.com's Mark Sheldon has the latest on the Reds... GM Walt Jocketty told Sheldon the Reds will decline catcher Ramon Hernandez's $8.5MM option, as expected.  Jocketty hopes to negotiate a new deal with Hernandez.  Bad news for Ryan Hanigan, who posted a .361 OBP in 293 plate appearances this year. Jocketty hopes to re-sign catcher Corky Miller and outfielder Darnell McDonald to minor league deals. Jocketty said he talked to the Brewers several times about J.J. Hardy, but "We didn't match up and they didn't want to trade within our division, which was understandable."  It's a sign that the Reds may not be content with Paul Janish as their starter.
