IMO Hernandez was much better than just mediocre offensively. To me, "mediocre" would be an average hitter who bats in the .250 - .280 range throughout his career.
Not only was Hernandez a .296 career hitter, he also had 6 seasons over .300, with his top 3 seasons at .344 ; .321 ; .311 -- those numbers are solidly above-average. I'd even say that's much better than the average player.
