Kiké Hernandez started games at seven different positions in 2017, and is eligible for salary arbitration for the first time this offseason.
Hernandez playing so many positions — he started 16 games in center field, 16 games at shortstop, 15 games in right field, 12 games in left field, eight games at third base, two games at second base and two games at first base last season — adds an extra hurdle to finding truly comparable players.
There are plenty of players with roughly the same service time as Hernandez, who has three years, 54 days under his belt.
