DAN MURPHY RUMORS & GOSSIP

Dodgers tried to acquire Daniel Murphy at Winter Meetings

For those teams working with a bankroll that didn’t match that of Scrooge McDuck’s, the Winter Meetings were a time to poke and prod in an effort to see what holes could be filled at an obtainable cost.  The New York Mets managed to address their bullpen and centerfield situations via free agency and trade, while the Los Angeles Dodgers were left wanting.  After seeing...

Z-Cap: Mets Lose Game, Reyes and Murphy. Worst Game Ever.

This afternoon the Mets lost the game 6-5 (box score), the series 2-1, and Jose Reyes and Dan Murphy for probably 15, each.  It was a horrible afternoon in the city. How horrible of an afternoon was it you ask?  Well any game where you finish with your infield defense from left to right as follows (Nick Evans-3B, David Wright-SS, Justin Turner-2B, Lucas Duda-1B), you are in serious...

Mets Hammer Reds 8-2, Murphy is Awesome

Tonight the Mets took the 4 game set from the Red defeating them 8-2 (box score) and setting themselves up for a four game sweep tomorrow afternoon. The proof was in the pudding tonight.  Stats tell the story… Mike Pelfrey tossed a complete game while giving up 7 hits, two runs, and striking out three batters…Well done Big Pelf. The Mets offense did their part as well...

FMart/Murphy out but going in different directions...

Adm Rubin is keeping us up to date on all the winter league action, two of the Mets prospects that I'm sure they hoped were going to have an impact of this years big league roster are out of action in the Dominican leagues. That's where the similarity ends, as these two players seem to be going in opposite directions...After one game the often injured Fernando Martinez is...

Murphy on the road back...

Dan Murphy's knee is healing slower then expected but it appears he's finally close to playing in rehab games. Murphy will now be groomed for the position I always felt he belonged in, that of a utility player. When not playing as often, Murph gets long at-bats that taxes the pitcher and improves his chances of getting on base. As a starter pitchers make adjustments and he...

Forgotten Man: What To Do With Murphy…

We’ve all enjoyed the remarkable return of a contending Mets team. Make no mistake either, this team is a contender and will contend. It’s amazing what a 23 year old AAA callup will do for a floundering and monumentally boring team…(and some good starting pitching)   Thank you Ike Davis, because, coincidentally, since you were recalled the Mets have been reborn...

Murphy has had prior knee issues...

Dan Murphy is out 2-6 weeks with a knee injury, for anyone watching yesterday it really didn't appear that he did much and if anything it looked like he rolled his ankle. I rem. reading that Murphy had knee issues in college, in fact John Sickels of Minor League ball said "Questions about defense and injuries hurt his stock with scouts". So even though I don't see...

Why is Murphy just being given 1B

We're about to enter the second consecutive season in which Dan Murphy is being given a starters position, I didn't miss word the first half of this sentence the word "given" is correct. By most accounts Murphy, Jacobs and Carter have been similar defenders, at the plate Murph is hitting .162, Jacobs .208 and Carter .444."He'll compete for the job,"...
