McLouth for Hermida

[17 Seconds]

Would you do it? McLouth went yard again tonight so he's making it hard, but I feel like I need to sell high on him quickly. I liked Hermida before the season started but he's an injury risk and his power hasn't come along like I expected.

I have McLouth in 2 leagues. I get frustrated with the 0/4s recently and started benching him more frequently. Every time I bench him, he homers (sometimes twice a game). I've literally missed his last 7 HRs.

 

Point is - if you trade McLouth, let me know and I'll play him every night. Then he'll be guaranteed to suck for the other guy.

I did the same thing for his homer last night. I gave Swisher a start instead. Whoops.

The 1/4 with a HR isn't good to miss, but the 2-HR games in the last couple weeks sitting on my bench just killed me.

Hermida isn't exactly tearing the cover off the ball, production wise. If you're going to sell McLouth, sell him high while his value is there. He's a top fantasy talent at this point and you're thinking about trading him for someone who, quite frankly, isn't. Plus, McLouth could be having a break out season, you may want to hold onto him a little longer.

 

But if you're gonna trade him, don't trade him for Hermida, that's silly. McLouth is currently ranked 6th in all of Yahoo... Hermida is 136th. That's not selling high. Trade for someone who is slumping but you know will break out eventually to be a top talent. Also keep in mind Hermida plays in a pitchers park, so that's not going to help his numbers increase that much more.

Yeah, I realized earlier today that this was a bad trade.
