No power, might hit a little bit. He will be a career bench player. The Mets will not give him an opportunity to play his natural position (3b). The Mets have turned him into a utility player (2b,lf,1b). They will never allow him to be a full time player. They will go out and sign a proven player with numbers. Not that I agree with this, but he is not a Fmart with all the hype. I would love nothing better than to move him to 2b and leave him there for 10 years.....Saves money for Pitching (castillo should be traded and we have to eat half the contract.) However, that will not happen...... Next year outfield is Fmart , Beltran and Church GUARANTEED...take that to the bank........Delgado will be at 1b,,,,Murphy will be a bench player along with chavez and tatis(May platoon with fmart).... They will spend money on bullpen and starting pitching....Which I agree with.....Fix the bullpen,,,sign ollie to 4 years and 55 mill..... Pitching staff will be santana,maine,perez,pelf,neise and pedro........ They can sign pedro for the same money as he has made for two years....Sign ollie for an additional 6 mill a year....REup delgado for 6 mill less......Lose salary from alou, elduqu, and other scrubs..........They save a ton of money next year......... There will be no big FA next year.....Take it to the bank!!!!!!! First of all….Dan Murphy is a Dave Magadan type player. No power, might hit a little bit. He will be a career bench player.

He has great range. I think a cardboard cut-out has better range than Castillo. Strictly for defense…similar to Endy Chavez. He has great range.

They need to bench Rollins, seriously for lack of effort, and Howard needs to rethink his swing, since most pitchers have learned how to pitch to him...... We don't deserve anything at this point, unless they connect the darn bat w/ the ball..... It’s not the pitching – we’ve had some great outings from Blanton, Kendrick, and Moyer.
