August 16, 200521 yr Why haven't the Marlins brought up Jeremy Hermida? From what I hear and read he is supposed to be the next superstar. Any chance we will see him before the season ends? -- Karen A., West Palm Beach, Hermida is having a big year in Double-A, batting .302 with 17 homers and 60 RBIs. He's also got 22 steals in 24 attempts. Florida's first-round pick in 2002 may contend for a starting corner outfield spot next season. He's a left-handed hitter with emerging power. If Juan Encarnacion doesn't return in 2006, Hermida could be the starting right fielder. I've spoken to several scouts from other teams who believe Hermida has more upside than Atlanta's prized rookie Jeff Francoeur. The two Georgia natives have been linked together since they were high school stars. Francoeur was hitting .275 with 13 home runs and 62 RBIs for the Double-A Mississippi Braves before he was promoted in early July. Hermida could be a September callup. How the team is hitting over the next few weeks and where they are in the standings in September will likely determine how much playing time Hermida gets at the big league level this season. http://florida.marlins.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/...t=.jsp&c_id=fla
August 16, 200521 yr yeah he actually knows how to take a walk 903703[/snapback] homeruns > walks Francour is a freak ... he doesnt need to walk
August 16, 200521 yr Having Hermida here in the future is going to be sick. I'm really interested in seeing what he can do at this level and see what the future for this team is going to look like.
August 16, 200521 yr yeah he actually knows how to take a walk 903703[/snapback] homeruns > walks Francour is a freak ... he doesnt need to walk 903707[/snapback] Hermida can do that too, though. Francour will cool off trust me. Pitchers will figure him out, I'm not saying he won't be a great major leaguer but pitchers will adjust to him and it'll be interesting to see if he is able to make an adjustment of his own.

August 16, 200521 yr Trust me....Franconeur is a good player but is just hot. Hermida will have a better career- Ive seen him in person many times.
August 16, 200521 yr Patience Padiwans, We must have patience and trust in the young one. He will come to our side in time and then we shall destroy the evil braves :mischief2 :mischief2 :mischief2 :mischief2 Patience and he will come to join the Teal army.
