Cesar Hernandez (2B, PHI) - Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues

OWNED IN: 46% of leagues

ANALYSIS: Everyone’s over here freaking out about Scott Kingery (which I get) and yet, Hernandez’s moderate yet dependable output is being overlooked in too many leagues. Maybe you feel like he’s been around for too long and just isn’t exciting, but he’s only 27! He’s hit exactly .294 in each of his past two seasons and was able to crank nine homers alongside 15 steals in 128 games last year. Oh, and he scored 85 runs in that shortened season.

The Phillies lineup is much improved and only getting better, and Hernandez should score 100-plus runs while threatening for double-digit homers and 20 steals with an average sniffing .300 if he gets a full season in. Take advantage of everyone going after the shiny new toy and pencil Cesar in as your keystone for cheap.
