Hunter Jones & Jose Alvarez are out. Jeremy Hermida is in. The Sox picked up the 25-year old outfielder from the Marlins in exchange for the two pitchers.
Hermida looks to fill the role of 4th outfielder, maybe 3 1/2 if you count the number of games that J.D. Drew misses. He could also be looked at as a replacement for Jason Bay if he does not re-sign. Hermida was a 1st round pick of the Marlins in 2002. Maybe a change of scenery will do him well.
Theo & Co. have the wheels turning early this year. I think that's a good thing. We have a lot of tinkering to do if we are going to compete with the Yankees & Rays in 2010.
