Q2: Phil B asks: “What do you see Hermida doing for the remainder of the year? Is he
worth an add in a 10-team league? I need a 5th outfielder and don't
think Gathright will cut it.”
A: RM responds:
"Thanks for the email.
Hermida is going to perform, on a pro-rated basis, as he was expected to do coming into the season (.280/15-20/80/12-20). His first two months were a wash due to ineffectivenesss (6-24 with 0 HR and 0 RBI) and injury.
Since his return, he has done much better (2/8/2/.294). For the remainder of the season, I would expect 6-10 more HRs and SBs with another 30-40 RBIs.
Those figures are OK for the last OF slot on a 10-team mixed league. Whether those are more helpful than Joey Gathright depends upon how much you need SB.
Kansas City is going to play Gathright until he fails. That means he will have ample time to steal 20+ bases, assuming non-failure."
