You Make the Call: Daniel Murphy

Suffers fatal injuries diving into the hotel pool from his fourth floor window attempting to save teammate Ike Davis. RIP Vows to return in 2013.

Vic Sage Mar 20 2012 09:26 AM Re: You Make the Call: Daniel Murphy

if his injuries are fatal, how does he return... as incorporeal being? the result of zombie infection? a clone? spiritual possession? instant reincarnation? Is Mr. Jordan involved in some way? .310 - 10hr - 50 rbi/50runs, before improper footwork on a DP causes yet a 3rd knee blowout. Traded to AL in the off-season.

Because Murph's indestructible.

Frayed Knot Mar 20 2012 10:01 AM Re: You Make the Call: Daniel Murphy

Prior to his dive does he yell out; "I am a golden God!" ?

Ashie62 Mar 20 2012 10:09 AM Re: You Make the Call: Daniel Murphy

Catches hand in car door ala Bob Tewksbury and has no grade point average.

I'm gonna guess that he's limited to about 100 games. But... if he does have a mostly injury-free season, Murphy will hit .315 with 12 homers and 42 doubles. And, should he be worthy, he will possess the power of THOR!

Edgy MD Mar 20 2012 10:17 AM Re: You Make the Call: Daniel Murphy

He's gonna marry a chick named Cat.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Mar 20 2012 10:32 AM Re: You Make the Call: Daniel Murphy

Will hit and field his way to the American League, or left field, or something. 14-70 299/360/450

I'll say something along his career lines of .292/.343/.441. He'll do well enough defensively to survive the year at second base, but next year he will play third. Whether that is for the Mets or somebody else depends more on David Wright than on him.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Mar 20 2012 12:33 PM Re: You Make the Call: Daniel Murphy

A hot start. Will put new shirseys on the backs of roughly 60% of Metdom's working-class whiteys. Strained MCL from vigorous morning oatmeal consumption puts him out for the year in July.

TransMonk Mar 20 2012 12:39 PM Re: You Make the Call: Daniel Murphy

I like what Grimm is sayin'.

metirish Mar 20 2012 12:51 PM Re: You Make the Call: Daniel Murphy

Decent player, honest to gosh darn goodness and hard work won't be enough though as he and Tajada struggle as a combo.....I see tough times ahead.

MFS62 Mar 20 2012 09:47 PM Re: You Make the Call: Daniel Murphy

I see a Luis Aparicio/ Nellie Fox keystone combo in Tejada/ Murphy. They'll play together for many years, and lead the Mets to at least one World CHampionship. Tejada will flash the glove and have a higher OBP than Luis, but with far fewer steals. Dan'l will hit (and, unfortunately, run) like Nellie, but with much more extra base power. So let it be written. So let it be done. Seriously, I'm buying in on Murphy. .315 avg, with 50+ XBH. Later

Lefty Specialist Mar 21 2012 06:56 AM Re: You Make the Call: Daniel Murphy

I'm penciling him in for 10 homers and 55 MRI's.

Vic Sage Mar 21 2012 07:43 AM Re: You Make the Call: Daniel Murphy

that there is funny stuff, i tell ya.

Ceetar Mar 21 2012 08:44 AM Re: You Make the Call: Daniel Murphy

.298/.355/.450 13 HR, 98 runs, plays an okay second base.

TheOldMole Mar 21 2012 08:53 AM Re: You Make the Call: Daniel Murphy

.290, 55 RBI, 95 R

Most likely to crash straight through the outfield wall Rodney McCray style, leaving a gaping hole of his silhouette in the wall, just like it would happen in any Road Runner or Itchy & Scratchy cartoon. In fact, I'm surprised Murph hasn't done this already.
