Fantasy Impact:

Hernandez has pretty good on-base skills, sporting a career .352 OBP, so he's a decent fit at leadoff. His value takes a slight jump up with more plate appearances and runs, which will be especially valuable in a shortened season. Hernandez is a solid late-round middle infield target. However, Hernandez's move to the leadoff spot pushes Oscer Mercado down the lineup.
