A National League manager says that in order to get the best out of Jeremy Hermida, the Red Sox need to give him regular at-bats. Boston acquired Hermida earlier this offseason, before they signed Mike Cameron. The Globe writes that he won't get enough at-bats if he's simply an extra outfielder. "To turn the corner, he's got to play," said the manager. "He could easily be a J.D. Drew type, maybe better, but if he's platooning, not sure what that does for him or for the team. He's reaching that critical age where he could just continue being what he is or he could become an All-Star player." If the Red Sox decide to pursue Jason Bay again, Hermida isn't likely to shine.
