Around SBN: Chan Sung Jung Wins Thriller Over Dustin Poirier

AB's for David Murphy????

sorry if this was posted 2 weeks ago or somethin....

but does anybody think this might be a GMJ? this kid had potential to be like a .330 hitter, at Baylor he hit .415 with almost a .500 OBP and in A ball he hit .350 with a .450 OBP, was in only 20+ games as a 3 year college guy, but still...

I just wouldnt be quick to dismiss the kid, he could hit .300-.330 with 20 HR 75+ Rbi 10-20 SB with good defense(i think) or thats his potential still....more than likely his ceiling

with our BallPark and Rudy, I think he might be able to turn this thing around, a big if, but I'd give the guy his AB's this year to see what he can do, and I'd like to see his glove in CF, move Byrd to LF and Cat to 1B, maybe Laird or Wilkerson can play 1B against Lefties

Just a thought, hell we saw Rudy turn around GMJ and Derosa last year, this kid might not be a longshot......Imagine if Gabbard and Murphy develop and we still have Beltre tearing through the system.

Murphy
His minor league numbers have been very consistent. What makes you think he will greatly outperform his past numbers? Jaramillo is a good hitting coach, but he's no magician.

I said that's his potential
but he's underacheived his whole minor league career lol he has the tools to hit, just hasnt put it together

I've read differing opinions...
...of his defense.

Some seem to think he is a plus CF defender, and others say that he has trouble in center and his glove is best suited for a corner.

Does anyone here have an opinion of his defense?
