The San Francisco Giants have been looking for added bullpen help. After all, they lost three guys from their bullpen last season, and had brought in only one player. They bumped it up to two with the addition of Hernandez.
Hernandez will jump into the mix that’s vying for a spot in the bullpen. Out of the right handers in the ‘pen, you have to figure Strickland and Law’s spots are a lock. There is a good third spot available there though and potentially a fourth. Hernandez will have a lot of competition for it.
Hernandez has a fantastic K/9 rate, only dipping below 8 in his first two years in the bigs, where he was used mainly as a starter.
