Newsbreakers

November 5, 2009

Jeremy Hermida has been dealt from Florida to Boston in exchange for hurlers Hunter Jones and Jose Alvarez, according to Juan C. Rodriguez's (Sun Sentinel) twitter page.

Our View:

Hermida has failed to perform up to high expectations over five seasons in Florida, but could benefit from a fresh start with Boston. It also gives the Sox some outfield depth just in case they do not re-sign Jason Bay.

September 24, 2009

The Palm Beach Post reports that Jeremy Hermida took batting practice on Wednesday for the first time since straining his oblique on September 3.

Our View:

Hermida's recovery has been amazingly slow, but he says he'll be ready to play this weekend. He isn't likely to play more than one or two games if that is the case.

September 14, 2009

Jeremy Hermida worked out before Sunday's game and is nearing a return, according to MLB.com. Hermida has to be able to sprint and swing the bat without any pain before the team will clear him to play.

Our View:

Hermida said it is only a matter of time before he is ready to go, and he expects to return to the lineup soon. If the Marlins are going to make a late run at the playoffs, they will need their full compliment of players, and that includes Hermida.

September 10, 2009

MLB.com reports that Jeremy Hermida (oblique) may be done for the season.

Our View:

Hermida is simply waiting out the injury, and with the Marlins not looking playoff bound, he may not be healthy in time to get into a game. Oblique strains are tricky and hurt when you do almost anything baseball related, so we don't expect Hermida to return. Cameron Maybin will continue to start in center field in his place.

September 8, 2009

Jeremy Hermida (oblique strain) is not expected to return "anytime soon," according to the Miami Herald.

Our View:

It apparently still hurts him to even laugh or sneeze. With the Marlins fading, the team likely won't rush his return.

September 3, 2009

Jeremy Hermida was forced to leave the Marlins game on Wednesday with a "strain in his right intercostal muscle," according to MLB.com.

Our View:

The latest muscle a baseball player has managed to hurt that you've never heard of runs between the ribs. Hermida doesn't expect to be out too long, but injuries in that part of the body tend to linger because of how much they are used. Brett Carroll will fill-in in right field while he is out.

August 1, 2009

Jeremy Hermida was productive in Saturday's 9-8 loss to the Cubs at home, as he went 3-for-6 with two RBI. All three of his knocks were singles.

Our View:

Hermida extended his hitting streak to nine games, and has five RBI over that span. Keep him active in fantasy lineups while swinging a hot stick.

July 30, 2009

Jeremy Hermida could potentially be headed to Chicago if the Cubs decide to add a left-handed bat to platoon with Milton Bradley in right field, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

Our View:

Hermida is hitting just .249 on the season, but hits righties pretty well, coming in at a .274 clip in 241 at-bats. He would obviously see less playing time were this trade to happen, however.

July 22, 2009

Jeremy Hermida's second inning home run was all the Marlins needed on Wednesday, as Ricky Nolasco mowed down the Padres in the Fish's 5-0 win.

Our View:

Hermida has by and large been a disappointment again this season, however, and is a likely candidate to get dealt before the July 31 trading deadline.

July 13, 2009

The Marlins are willing to trade Jeremy Hermida for bullpen help, according to the Miami Herald.

Our View:

Cameron Maybin's hot hitting at Triple-A New Orleans has made Hermida more expendable than ever. The paper speculates he could head to Pittsburgh for either Matt Capps or John Grabow, though it is hard to believe the Pirates would give up one of the jewels of the bullpen for only Hermida.

July 5, 2009

Jeremy Hermida went 2-for-4 on Sunday with a triple, a run scored, and an RBI in the Marlins' 5-0 win over the Pirates. Hermida is now hitting .256 on the year.

Our View:

Hermida is having a decent year at the plate, with eight homers and 30 RBI. He is a solid option in NL-only leagues, but he is probably not a great mixed league option unless your league is really deep.

June 17, 2009

MLB.com's Joe Frisaro doesn't' expect the Marlins to deal away players unless they fall out of contention. The Fish are currently 3.5 games behind the Cardinals for the National League wild card.

Our View:

This means that everyone's favorite trade target, Jeremy Hermida, is likely staying put for the foreseeable future.

June 15, 2009

The Marlins have been receiving trade offers for Jeremy Hermida, but have found none of them enticing according to the Miami Herald.

Our View:

Hermida is having the most consistent season of his young career in 2009, and is really starting to play like the talented outfielder many expected him to be. It wouldn't be unlike the Marlins to trade a player once he gets good, of course, but they don't appear to be anxious to move Hermida. He's probably worth a roster spot in deeper mixed or NL only leagues.

June 11, 2009

Jeremy Hermida had his third straight two-hit game on Thursday in the Marlins 6-5 loss to the Cardinals.

Our View:

Hermida didn't homer like he did in the first two games of the streak, but he still appears to be in the beginnings of a hot stretch. He is not consistent enough of a hitter, however, to be worth and add, save for in the deepest of NL-only leagues.

June 10, 2009

Jeremy Hermida went deep for the second straight game as the Marlins fell to the Cardinals 13-4 on Wednesday. He finished the game 3-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored.

Our View:

Hermida hit the walk off home run a night earlier. He has always had the ability to be a quality hitter but he just has never been consistent. He is a much stronger play against right-handers.

June 6, 2009

According Marlins' beat writer Juan Rodriguez, Jeremy Hermida is out of the lineup Saturday.

Our View:

Chris Coghlan replaced Hermida in the lineup and will hit leadoff and play left field. Adjust your lineups accordingly.

May 30, 2009

Jeremy Hermida was 3-for-5 with a home run, double, four RBI, and a run scored in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Mets.

Our View:

The 25-year-old is not a very exciting option, but he is a reliable bench player or fourth outfielder in deeper leagues. He already has 50 games under his belt and produced a .270-5-22-20-4 line.

May 2, 2009

Jeremy Hermida couldn't figure out Ted Lilly on Saturday. The Marlins outfielder went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts.

Our View:

As a team, the Marlins racked up 13 strikeouts on Saturday. They led the majors in that category last season and are on pace to repeat. Hermida strikes out more than we like, but he's been offsetting the whiffs by walking more this season.

April 18, 2009

Jeremy Hermida went deep twice and drove in five in the Marlins 9-6, 11-inning win on Saturday. He was 3-for-6 in the game and now has three home runs on the season.

Our View:

Maybe this will be the year fantasy owners have been waiting for. Hermida, always a highly valued prospect has failed to deliver in the past. Ever since he hit a grand slam in his first Major League at-bat, the expectations have been high. See if his hot streak continues as he may be a nice waiver pickup in mixed leagues.

April 12, 2009

Jeremy Hermida went 1-for-2 with a double in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Mets at Dolphins Stadium.

Our View:

The Marlins managed to win the game on only three hits, and Hermida had the only extra-base hit.

April 3, 2009

Jeremy Hermida launched his fifth home run of exhibition play Friday against the Blue Jays.

Our View:

Hermida has always been an intriguing player with a lot of talent who has yet to reach his full potential. The good news is he has been tearing the cover off the ball in spring training, so maybe he's ready for a breakout season. Regardless, he should be a nice pickup in the later rounds of a mixed league as a fourth of fifth outfielder.

March 27, 2009

Jeremy Hermida went 3-for-5 with his fourth home run this spring against the Orioles on Friday.

Our View:

Hermida has hit .340 this spring and, according to Florida's coaching staff, has been the team's most impressive hitter. He could be in line to return to his 2007 splits when he hit .296 with 18 home runs in just 429 at-bats.

March 21, 2009

Jeremy Hermida was 2-for-3 on Saturday in a 4-3 loss to the Red Sox. He raised his spring average to an impressive .368.

Our View:

Hermida has never really put it together over a full season, but is having a strong spring and could be poised for a breakout year. He has the starting job in left, but if he wants to keep it his bat will have to make some noise.

March 13, 2009

Jeremy Hermida had a monster night against the Mets on Thursday, going 3-for-4 with a home run, four RBI and three runs.

Our View:

Hermida has had a big spring thus far, hitting three home runs while going 9-for-23 from the plate. He's always had a great skill set and is sure to draw heavy talk as a sleeper if he stays hot prior to the season.

March 10, 2009

Jeremy Hermida went 1-for-3 for the Marlins on Monday in the Grapefruit League.

Our View:

Hermdia is hitting .316 this spring. He may never produce the breakout campaign owners have been anticipating, and he doesn't run the way he used to in the minors, but there's still a lot of talent here. He's someone to keep an eye on.

March 3, 2009

Jeremy Hermida went 2-for-3 with a home run off Edinson Volquez on Tuesday, making it three-straight contests that he's gone yard.

Our View:

Hermida has always possessed fine talent and has been a popular sleeper pick to bust out each of the past several seasons, but has never quite put it all together to live up to his potential. Still, if he keeps up the hot stick this spring, he'll be well worth a shot in the middle-to-late rounds of most drafts.

March 1, 2009

Jeremy Hermida hit his second home run in two days on Sunday, going 2-for-3 overall with three RBI and a pair of runs. His other hit was a double.

Our View:

If Hermida keeps up this power, he'll certainly be worth drafting in fantasy, especially in NL only leagues.

February 28, 2009

Jeremy Hermida hit his first home run of the spring on Saturday. It was a solo shot in the fourth inning off of Baltimore's Radhames Liz and was his only hit of the afternoon in three at-bats.

Our View:

Hermida is likely to be the Marlins' right fielder on Opening Day, but he's only batting .167 so far this spring. He needs to pick it up a bit, especially after having a down year in 2008.

January 19, 2009

Jeremy Hermida and the Marlins avoided arbitration on Monday by agreeing to a one year deal worth $2.25 million, according to the Sun-Sentinel.

Our View:

Hermida should find himself back in right field next season for the Fish. His production slipped some last season (except for runs scored) despite 70 more at-bats.
