EDGE Analysis
Hernandez, who just turned 31, is having a bit of a down year while also missing time with a hip injury. However, his strong play in center field and ability to play the infield when necessary is part of what appeals to Boston. Hernandez is hitting .222/.287/.359 with six home runs, zero steals and 0.3 fWAR in 67 games on the final year of a two-year, $14 million contract.
