Jeremy Hermida trade revisted

by craig on Nov 6, 2009 10:10 AM EST in News and Rumors

I finally got around to looking up the players we got in return and they are iffy at best.

Hunter Jones has a chance to be a situational LOOGY for the Marlins. Frankly, at this point in his career he gets no one out with any consistency. But that doesn't mean he won't in the future.

Jose Alvarez's stats look pretty good, he can find the strike zone. However, he is a work in progress, he is 5'11" and only weighs a 150 pounds. In other words he hasn't grown into his body, no big deal there. But I lost my excitement when I read Beinfest saying this:

... he's a winner

Talk about the air going out of the balloon. Last time Beinfest said that, the guy was anything but a winner.

Since I have already linked to the story

If Coghlan moves back to the infield, the Marlins have several outfield prospects, including Scott Cousins and Mike Stanton.

"If Maybin slides into center field, Cody can play right," Beinfest said. "Stanton and Cousins are on their way.

What exactly does Brett Carroll do every Halloween? Leave flaming sacks of dog poop on Beinfest's door step?

Brett Carroll

I’m at a loss. Brett Carroll has consistently produced, offensively and defensively, with little playing time. I will never understand some of their logic. But, 12 games over .500 this year says a lot.

im confused

by the love for BC.. now i could be wrong and i know he’s impressive defensively and 1000 times better than hermida… but offensively, his numbers are lower than herminda’s… lower batting average and less of a pop in his bat.. im sure management is looking for more HR’s from corner OF position?!?!.. just a guess!

We're just usually shocked that he's not given a chance to start

Chris Coghlan for NLRoY

Carroll

The difference is that he’s never played consistently. But he has come up with some big hits. Hermida on the other hand just never comes up with anything big. He had one big game this year in April I think. I think that BC can produce just as much as Hermida if given the opportunity, and his abilities in the field are at least worth some regular playing time.

It's a long shot

but unless they sign a vet to man LF, they might as well see if BC can put up Cody Ross-esque numbers (streaky hitting with some pop) in ‘’10, or if he’s just solid defensive 4th OF material.
