Delmon Young Available?

i want hermida!!!

 

You want one of the only NL RFs that had a worse OPS than Fukudome? Why bother when you have Fukudome?

 

Yes Hermida is only 24 (a significant advantage over Fukudome), but he also costs talent to acquire, for a net result of a short-term lateral move. The Cubs aren't going to do this, they want to win now.

cedeno could step in and possibly out hit theriot

 

No.

he could.

 

With the huge exception of OBP, Theriot's offense this season was not even close to good. That .387 OBP would also likely come down with his batting average not likely to stay at .307

Why is it not likely? Because you don't like him?

i haven't looked too closely at the stats but I assume his BABIP is a little bit high for his LD%

also, where would i find LD% stats?

 

fangraphs.com.

 

And no..his BABIP is actually in line with his LD percentage (23.2% with a BABIP of .340) If anything, it's just a touch low, but it's pretty much right on.

 

 

Considering his GB and FB rates, his BABIP is actually decently low.

then i stand corrected

Because Hermida is cost-effective and probably undervalued due to his inability to hit at Pro Player(.203/.273/.312/.584; .288/.364/.487/.851 on the road). It's a Michael Barrett situation.

Sober up. Edmonds could also hit .325 next year and play 150 games.
