Cesar Hernandez placed on 60-day DL

The Phils' young second baseman will miss the rest of the season with an injured thumb.

"Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears; I come to bury Cesar, not to praise him" - Bill Shakespeare, some British play.

OK, I'm not here "bury" Cesar Hernandez and this certainly is not a post in which I will go out of my way not to praise him. In fact, the 25-year-old second baseman had himself quite a nice season for the Phillies in 2015, one that has been cut short by a freakish injury.
