Enrique Hernandez continues to build playoff legend for Dodgers

Los Angeles Dodgers utility man Enrique Hernandez is the type of player any team would love to have on the roster.

Hernandez has appeared at every position aside from catcher during his career, typically providing solid defense wherever he plays. He has been decent enough with the bat to earn regular playing time, posting a .235/.304/.402 batting line with 134 homers and 204 doubles over his 4,248 career plate appearances.

While those are strong numbers for a utility man, Hernandez has been excellent during the postseason. The Dodgers all-time leader in playoff games, Hernandez entered Tuesday with a .272/.339/.486 batting line in his 328 postseason plate appearances, hitting 16 homers and 11 doubles.
