Hernandez is a decent glove and has been surprisingly productive at the plate. But he is not ideal. We should have gone after Hudson in the offseason. He was willing to come here and not signing him was another failure by Bowden and the Lerners/Kasten. Hernandez has indeed made some boneheaded plays, but that is something that is happening due to an overall systemic problem. It is pretty clear he has good skills. The problem is, to be an elite team, you want a 2B that not only is part of a great tandem in the middle, but brings some offensive pop. Hernandez is certainly good to have in the system, but is not an ideal starter.
