Jose Fermin

25-Year-Old Second Baseman2B
St. Louis Cardinals
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Fermin was acquired from Cleveland last winter, but his bid to win an Opening Day bench spot with the Cardinals ended before it began when he suffered a severe quad strain early in spring training which wound up sidelining him for nearly four months. He saw some spot duty with the Cards down the stretch and showed a solid glove, but his bat lagged well behind. That's been the case with Fermin throughout his days in pro ball, as he's never even had an .800 OPS in a season and sports a .709 OPS during his time at Triple-A. The power is basically non-existent and he hasn't displayed any stolen base chops since A-ball. Fermin will be in the mix for a reserve role in St. Louis, but they figure to be in trouble if he has to play very much. Read Past Outlooks

Swipes bag in loss
2BSt. Louis Cardinals
September 8, 2024
Fermin went 1-for-4 with two RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 10-4 loss to the Mariners.
ANALYSIS
Fermin has seen minimal playing time since he was recalled from Triple-A Memphis on Aug. 21 to replace Nolan Gorman. Over eight games since that date, Fermin has gone 3-for-15 (.200) with three walks, and his two-run single Sunday was the first time he plated a run in the majors all season. The infielder has a poor .148/.246/.197 slash line with no home runs, two stolen bases, six runs scored, a double and a triple over 69 plate appearances. He has a short-term path to playing time at second base as long as Brendan Donovan (foot) is out.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could see outfield action
2BSt. Louis Cardinals
May 31, 2024
According to John Denton of MLB.com, Fermin played one game in left field for Triple-A Memphis in an attempt to improve his versatility as a big-league bench piece. He was called up by the Cardinals on Friday.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old appeared in nine games for the Cardinals in late April and early May but has spent most of the campaign with Memphis, where he has a .346/.461/.615 slash line in 32 contests. St. Louis' infield is currently in good health, so being a viable option in the outfield can only help Fermin's outlook for playing time. Still, he'll likely be limited to a reserve role barring an injury for the Cardinals.
