Matt Murton now knows what comedian Rodney Dangerfield was talking about "No Respect". Matt has got to be wondering what did I do wrong as the Cubs announced that the bench will consist of Ward, Blanco, Cedeno, Johnson, and Fontenot. That leaves Matt Murton wasting away in AAA or worse traded for under value. Since his 2005 late season callup, Murton has shown throughout his tenure that his work offensively is better than anyone who's come out of our minor leagues since Mark Grace. Murton has shown not only the ability to continually make contact as well as extrabase power but he features an almost un-Cubby quality in his ability to work counts and draw walks. Still Piniella has passed over him the past two offseason.
