That's not it at all. You see he just recently learned how to read and write. Can you believe the great state of Minnesota almost elected their first ever illiterate house member? The horror...

<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->4:44pm: Geoff Baker says the Marlins offered Hermida to the Mariners and Rangers for catching.

12:34pm: Rays Index found a note from MLB.com's T.R. Sullivan on Monday - the Rays like Rangers outfielder Nelson Cruz.

12:26pm: Berardino has an update. He says the Marlins proposed trading Hermida to the Rays for two pitchers, likely among Jeff Niemann, Wade Davis, Jeremy Hellickson, and Mitch Talbot. The Rays rejected the offer and it's unlikely to be revisited.

Berardino now says the Reds have yet to inquire on Hermida.

12:04pm: Mike Berardino of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel discusses Jeremy Hermida trade possibilities in a blog post today (hat tip, Rays Index). He says the Reds have definitely shown interest, and also discusses the Rays. Berardino's sources believe Micah Owings could be had, but not Johnny Cueto. In the case of the Rays it'd apparently take Andy Sonnanstine rather than Edwin Jackson.

By the way, the Marlins have talked about the possibility of moving Hermida to left field if they keep him. Hermida has been a slightly above-average right fielder according to the plus/minus system.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->Jeremy Hermida continues to draw attention at the Winter Meetings.

The Marlins on Wednesday were approached by the Rangers and Mariners about Hermida, MLB.com has learned. Both those teams were offering catchers. At this time, neither proposal seems to be a fit.

Talks with Texas matched Hermida for Jarrod Saltalamacchia, a switch-hitter who appeared in 61 games for Texas in 2008. And from Seattle, Rob Johnson for Hermida was discussed.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Saltalamacchia? I can't imagine we can offer anything close to that. He's struggled but he's still only 23 and was the centerpiece(well you could argue Elvis Andrus too) of the Teixeira trade. If the Rangers are making that offer, they must really want Teagarden being an everyday catcher. They just traded Laird too.

[Ace]

Good lord, Salty for Hermida? He ain't that good, is he?

[Fella]

Saltalamacchia isn't considered near the prospect he once was. A lot of people thought he would be like Braun and dominate as soon as he got up, or at the very least like Soto. He still might be pretty good but he isn't a super-prospect anymore.

Aren't there thoughts of moving him to 1B now too? Not durable enough to catch everyday?
