Fantasy Analysis
There were rumors earlier this offseason that Hermida could be headed to Japan and this move could lead to that. The 27-year-old has been very disappointing since being taken in the first round of the 2002 draft and has not been a viable Fantasy option for awhile now. Unless he earns a starting job somewhere in the majors next season, plan on ignoring him entirely on Draft Day. (Updated 12/07/2011).
