Hermida

[rawaction]

The reviews were on the positive side for Scott Olsen, Mike Jacobs, Dan Uggla, and Alfredo Amezaga. The scout apparently recommended against Jeremy Hermida, Kevin Gregg, and Josh Willingham. Hermida's report was particularly damning, with the scout claiming the right fielder has "no passion for the game."

OK, but can he play?

 

Yeah, I read that. It sounded a lot like the Corey Patterson talk, "Look at him walk to the dugout with his head down. He doesn't want to get better"

This actually isn't the first time this has come up about Hermida. I remember reading something similar being said about him back in 2006 when he was battling some nagging injuries. I'm not saying that it's valid criticism of Hermida, but apparently there are more than just a few people around baseball that hold this opinion of him.

Yeah Scott Olsen has a passion to play but he also has a passion for being a world class ***clown.

I would never give up Marmol to get Hermida. Our bullpen is already shakey enough.
