Cesar Hernandez (2B / SS / 3B, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 50% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: Recently the Philadelphia Phillies GM Ruben Amaro Jr. stated, "Cesar Hernandez is our best second baseman. I would assume that Cesar would be our second baseman." This clearly shows that Utley's time with the Phillies is coming to an end and the time of Hernandez is just beginning.  So far Hernandez has come out of the gate hot with a .280 AVG, one home run, 12 SB, 19 RBI, and 31 runs scored.

Besides the potential of being the starting 2B going forward, the stats have clearly got fantasy baseball players attention. While these stats look tremendous, I expect a regression to occur as his minor league BA average is .271 with 27 SB. If you are in a deeper league or NL league, I'd recommend Hernandez as a nice SB or middle infield bench option for your team.
