Posted August 31, 200519 yr The Florida Marlins purchased the contract of Jeremy Hermida, their top pick in the 2002 amateur draft, from Double-A Carolina on Wednesday. Hermida hit .293 with 18 home runs and 63 RBIs in 118 games with Double-A Carolina this season. He takes the roster spot vacated by right-handed pitcher Chris Resop, who was optioned back to Carolina on Tuesday. ??I wish I wasn't late on my first day of BP,'' Hermida said Wednesday as he hurriedly dressed to take part in major league batting practice for the first time. Hermida's role, for now, is expected to be almost entirely as a reserve, either a pinch-hitter or pinch-runner. ??It gives us another left-handed hitter off the bench who can at least hit the seats,'' Marlins manager Jack McKeon said. ??And he's a pretty good runner.'' Hermida, who has been slowed by a sore wrist ? the result of an awkward slide about a week ago ? stole 23 bases in 25 attempts for Carolina this season.
