Runelvys Hernandez (SP), KC - Alert: MED
March 29, 2006
News: Hernandez, who reported to camp at 280 pounds, doesn't appear to be ready to go for the start of the season, as he's still fifteen pounds heavier than his desired playing weight and can't seem to build his stamina because of it. Denny Bautista will be bumped up in the rotation, and Hernandez won't likely make his first start until April 14.
Views: If you were counting on Hernandez, I either feel sorry for you or empathize with you as a fellow player in an insanely deep AL league (no... thankfully, I don't have him in that league). The only thing that Hernandez' "injury" problem is going to evoke are stories of Mo Vaughn attempting to eat a cheesecake while playing first base. If, for whatever reason, you weren't staying away before, run for the hills.
