But I don't see anything that suggests the Mets are just downplaying the Manny possibility. I really believe the plan is to develop Murphy in LF. It would seem so.

But I don't know if it's from being rushed or if it's a skill set he was never told to work on or what. He actually had pretty good walk totals in AAA in 07.

I definitely think Milledge was rushed, and Ruben Tejada was rushed a bit, but not as extremely as some people seem to think I think low A would have been fine for him. And I'm not saying we're one of the worst I'm saying we're probably in the middle of the pack too Humber, Greg Volez, Gomez, although that was out necessity as we really had no one else.

How do you know? His OBP was putrid. How do you know he wouldn't have been better had he stayed in the minors longer? I think the jury is still out about whether this philosophy of rushing prospects is a good one or not. “Carlos Gomez has not suffered from being rushed.”
