Posted April 7, 201015 yr With all the Gaby/Maybin chatter... Who do you is this year's Jeremy Hermida? Hope we don't have one this year but I could swear that was Hermida playing 1st base Monday (had a Gaby S. mask on) Hoping for our 1st 2010 win tomorrow ... Go fish!
April 7, 201015 yr Sanchez wont/cant because we have a 2nd option behind Sanchez that is readily available I'd say... if it could be anyone it's Maybin. If Sanchez doesnt pan out my feelings wont be hurt... just sayin.
April 8, 201015 yr The only player that could be this year's Hermida would be Cameron Maybin. He is the only player on the team with a lot of promise that hasn't lived up to the hype yet ala Hermida. Even if he doesn't live up to the hype, you won't see the type of heated debates that used to be on here on Hermida about Maybin. Mostly because a lot of fans had more invested in Hermida seeing him come through our system while Maybin is still a relatively new commodity.

They traded my favorite player to get him and the other useless POS that looks scared/constipated every time he steps on the mound. That being said, I think Maybin will be at least slightly better than HerMIERDA.
April 9, 201015 yr 3 games in, far too early. Maybin needs to tweak his defense, but otherwise doing fine. For those that actually watched Gaby play some games, he comes as advertised. Nice bat, not much glove. I would be more concerned with him becoming this year's Boni. His many fans in the area were excited at first but when teams figure out how to pitch him and if he can't or is slow to adjust then their disappointment turns to hatred. Only difference would be that Boni had no real fans here until that first week or so of the regular season. Besides, Gaby is just a stop gap until Logan is ready. I think everyone realizes that.
April 9, 201015 yr Pinto is this years Hermida! Wait is that an improvement for him? I always get a chuckle out of these posts. Pinto isn't as bad as some make him out to be. He's not the guy in the pen I am watching closely.
April 9, 201015 yr Pinto is worse than herpes. Maybe even worse than herges also... Bahahahahaha This would be the perfect spot for the "I see what you did there" lolcat.
April 9, 201015 yr I am pretty confident that Maybin is going to hit this season. You can tell by his approach at the plate so far he's a different hitter. I think he'll end up with a .280ish/.350ish/.430ish line.

The difference between Gaby and Bonifacio is that Gaby had actually hit in the minors. I know you don't care about the minors, though.
April 9, 201015 yr I don't recall Gaby hitting too well in the Winter Leagues before the season started.
April 9, 201015 yr .232/.333/.453 Not very good, but not very relevant either. It was 95 PA. That's not terrible, anyway. A .786 OPS is decent, and maybe around what can be expected from him, although I would think it'd be a higher OBP and lower SLG, but whatever. That'd be a below-average 1B in the NL, but whatever.
