I forget which one it was, but a couple years ago he saw a photo of himself in the paper working with one of them, and then decided he really needed to lose weight - and did!

Hernandez is absolutely not interested and obviously you can see why.
Nobody enjoys there life as much of Hernadez. And it wasn''t that he
was the greatrst fielding 1st baseman that would make him a reat
instructor, it is that is is/was and will always be perhaps the best
schooled and smartest player to ever put on the uniform. Keith not only
had the greatest approach to player, and analyzed every aspect of the
game all over the diamond.
The first time it occured to me that Jose Reyes was a problem
personality was when Reyes angerly confronted Hernandez for a comment he
made about his approach at the plate from the booth. So how well he
might do as a modern coach might still be a question, but I do think he
would do very well. His affect on Lucus Duda was profound.
If you want to know the player most like Keith today, shoot your eyes at
Cincinatti.
