Orioles Claim Luis Hernandez

The Orioles claimed minor league shortstop Luis Hernandez today from the Braves.

Grade: C

Looks like hes somebody who can fill in at shortstop in the upper levels of our minors until all the prospects we have in the lower minors advance up the system. I don’t see any problem in doing this, especially since we’ll probably try to pass him through waivers ourselves before too long. Think along the lines of Anderson Garcia and Brian Burres.
