And I think Jeremy is going to have to get that number close. The 180s may be acceptable. The 170s or 160s may not be enough to keep the job. I like the patience and that he is drawing walks, but I think the FO and coaches are going to be looking for production (runs) from him. Especially seeing Uggla may very well be gone next season. They are going to have to replace his production elsewhere. If one or more of the prospects develope enough, then Hermida is going to have to produce to save his job. He sure isn't going to keep it with his glove. Production = accounting for runs. All the other numbers are great to mull over for all the stats people, but runs wins games.
BTW Do you think Pujols wins that MVP if he accounts for 189 runs? Or 192? He met and surpassed that unwritten goal. It's a large part of what made him the most valuable to his team's success.
As much as the Marlins' FO tends to do some bonehead (no Bonifcio pun intended) moves sometimes, I would be quite surprised, and rage uncontrollably, if they actually made a decision to not keep Hermida based on Runs scored and RBI. If Hermida keeps up his walk-line up at this pace but has less than 160 or so R+RBI, and they base the decision on that, that would be absurd.
And bobbob already completely shut down your argument about Pujols there.
