But barring injury I am confident Murphy will lap Wigginton sometime soon. I was actually referring to the way he looked rather than his results. Corner OF help? I think the Mets should spend about 99.992% of their resources this winter on bolstering their bullpen!! You’re right. But barring injury I am confident Murphy will lap Wigginton sometime soon.

Mattingly. Ventura. Edmonds. WOW There's some heady company you're all lumping the kid in with. Lets shoot for Wiggington first, shall we? In the offseason, Omar has to decide if Murph/Evans is really a credible platoon in the OF, or if he wants to acquire a corner. Boggs. Mattingly. Ventura. Edmonds.

That's pretty ambitious. He reminds me of Dave Magadan, another pretty good, patient lefty batter. Magadan drove me crazy though, because he was always so willing to work out a walk, even in game situations w/RISP. Murphy looks a bit more aggressive in those spots. He's a keeper, for sure. Boggs?
