Danny Knobler of CBSSports.com reports that Ramon Hernandez has been placed on waivers. Players are placed on waivers all the time in August, but Hernandez is one of the more interesting names. While Reds general manager Walt Jocketty decided against selling at the trade deadline, he may be willing to part with the veteran backstop now. Hernandez, 35, is batting .292/.350/.465 with 11 homers and 33 RBI over 286 plate appearances this season. He currently projects as a Type A free agent.
