The Red Sox have traded for outfielder Jeremy Hermida, and sent minor leaguers Hunter Jones and Jose Alvarez to the Marlins. On paper, this looks like a solid move for the Red Sox... but only if we'll see other moves on top of this.

Theoretically, Hermida could replace Jason Bay in left field, but only if the Sox make moves elsewhere to fill the void that would be left in the lineup. Hermida is a decent player with moderate power and pretty good speed, but he's nowhere near the same level as Bay is, offensively.

If the Red Sox pick up an elite shortstop or catcher, which would both be difficult at this point, then perhaps Hermida can start. Otherwise, he shouldn't be anything beyond a 4th outfielder.

1	hermida is an excellent pick up for the sox, but that means someone has to go. either an outfielder (possibly bay, but hopefully drew) or ortiz (fill the dh slot) he could also be trade bait to get someone big like king felix or someone else. stay tuned!

I think what you are seeing is just the very beginning of a bunch of moves that will be made in the off season. Now that the World Series is over, Theo will be getting to work. We have some definite needs and will most likely have to replace Bay as we don't seem too interested in re-signing him. If you put Martinez behind the plate and move Youkilis to first base you have a pretty solid infield. You can keep Lowell around as a DH.... keep your eyes open... I have a feeling there is much more to come!

absolutely. theo doesnt want the yankees to win again, so hes gonna throw some bucks around. i know the sox are looking at a few japanese guys (names slip me right now) plus we have trade bait. all we need is a shortstop and a 2-3 hole starter, and some bullpen. HEY MARLINS, GIVE US HANLEY BACK!!!

2	This move was based solely on Hermidia being too expensive for the Marlins as they did not want to go to arbitration with him. I do believe this is a trend that is going to continue with many "small market" teams "dumping" arbitration eligible players or trading them to the "big boys" before the date of 12/1/09.

I agree hermidia would be great trade bait in a package. How about say.... Jose Reyes?

as long as he's healty, but i see him as too risky. the sox should seek either tulowitzki (would have to give up a lot for him, so probably not doable), or maybe steve drew (probably lose a top prospect) plus hardy wilson and everett are possibilities according to soxprospects.com, or just wait for a prospect to come up, like either casey kelly (#1 prospect, but could pitch) or iglacias or navarro. plus we still have lowrie. so many options.....
