Jeremy Hermida & Darnell McDonald have been pressed into active duty on an everyday basis. They have both performed better than anticipated.
With Mike Cameron & Jacoby Ellsbury still working their way back into the lineup from injuries both Hermida & McDonald have been more than adequate fill-ins. Both have contributed big hits at times. Both have played well, for the most part, in the outfield. Tito can't have any complaints about the play of these two guys.
Once Cameron & Ells come back I think you will still see a lot of Hermida. He has 19 or so RBI on the season so far. You can't keep a hot bat out of the lineup too long. I think McDonald will go back down, but not for long if there's another injury.
Both guys were off the radar in Spring Training. Nice to see them take advantage of their playing time.
