Cesar Hernandez should stick with the Phillies for a while

All winter long, it was the same story: how can the Phillies get rid of Cesar Hernandez? The reasoning was simple. With uberprospect Scott Kingery seemingly ready to ascend to the second base throne, trading Hernandez to the highest bidder would unclog a potential glut at the keystone. Hernandez’s value would never be higher either, since he was coming off of back to back 3+ fWAR seasons to go with ever improving defensive numbers. He was under contract for three more seasons, therefore had plenty of that team control that other teams are placing a high value on.

Of course, we now know that Hernandez was not traded, Kingery did make the team and there is still a playing time “issue” going on…
