Yes, the Yankees offered Orlando Hernandez to the Giants, but San Francisco won't make the deal (or any deal for that matter), unless the money works out no worse than even. That means the Yankees would have to take players and/or kick in money that equals $3.2 million. The Giants already are $4 million over budget. ... And speaking of La Familia Hernandez, Livan Hernandez is voluntarily taking 6 a.m. spinning classes twice a week. Already much leaner than he was last season, Hernandez at last seems to be getting the fitness religion needed for a bounceback season. ... Don't look for Jay Witasick in the San Francisco rotation. The Giants, after some internal discussion about using him as a starter, like him in the bullpen and will give Kurt Ainsworth and Ryan Jensen a crack at the No. 5 spot. ...
