Fantasy Analysis
Hernandez will compete for a utility spot on the Pirates' roster. If he wins a job out of spring training, he could be worth a flier in deep Rotisserie formats, as he can provide a few steals. Generally speaking, he can be ignored in the vast majority of leagues. (Updated 12/21/2011).
