Hermida,
Cheap Detroit Tigers Hats, 25, hit .259 with 13 home runs and 47 RBI over 129 games with the Marlins last season and set a career high with 56 walks. The left-handed hitter, who appeared in 81 games in right field and 51 in left, made just one error in 205 total chances for a .995 fielding percentage, sixth among qualifying National League outfielders.
The Red Sox acquired JeremyHermida from the Marlins for two pitchers:

Spanning the Twins,
Cheap Scarves, he should be an effective pitcher.
