He is... http://www.nypost.com/seven/11042008...ngs_136998.htm

Hernandez's last two seasons were down years and they still netted him Type A status this year, so barring injury next year it's likely he'd qualify as a Type A guy again.

But my question still stands, are the Reds allowed to decline his option for 2010 and then turn around and offer him arb?
