Cesar Hernandez Healthy This Spring
6 years agoPhiladelphia Phillies second baseman Cesar Hernandez (foot) is fully healed this spring after breaking his foot on a foul ball last July. He played the rest of the season with his broken foot, but his numbers declined considerably in the second half. "I’m not going to lie," Hernandez said. "It was tough playing with a broken foot." His on-base percentage fell from .379 before the injury to .329 over the season's final three months. Hernandez will be the starter at second base and is pegged to hit leadoff for an improved lineup. Because of the way he struggled to end the season, Hernandez's fantasy stock is down, but he could bounce back and be a nice late-round value in deep mixed leagues.
