DANIEL MURPHY RUMORS
How should we view Daniel Murphy’s defense?
To most people, the word ambivalent means not to care about something. But the real definition of the word is a bit more complex. Instead of not caring, it really means having two opposed or conflicting attitudes or ideas or emotions at the same time. Using the true meaning of the word, I am ambivalent about Daniel Murphy’s defense in 2012.
Before the season started, I was...

Can We Stop Worrying About Murphy At 2B Now?
I got this question about a week ago and never got a chance to respond. It comes from one of our longtime readers, Hitman, who asks;
During the Mets/Phillies game (05/08), Gary & Keith pointed out the progression of Daniel Murphy’s defense at 2nd base. Has Murphy changed your outlook of him holding it down defensively at 2nd or does he still need to prove something a little...

Daniel Murphy showing signs of improvement
When Miguel Batista starts a game for the Mets there really isn’t much hope. Running him out there looks like a sign of giving up a game in my eyes, so I almost didn’t even watch the game on Tuesday night. But the Mets in comeback fashion defeated the Phillies 7-4. They were once down 4-0 in the game, then the Mets rallied with a four run seventh inning and a two run ninth inning...

Is Daniel Murphy Trade Bait?
When SNY's cameras pan to Daniel Murphy in the dugout of a closely contested game, you'll see it all out on his sleeve. Each strike thrown to a batter is met with a look of concern, while each base hit is greeted with applause and an enthusiastic reaction. Just as he lives and dies with each pitch, Murphy is often the first on the field after a walk-off and the first to believe...

Daniel Murphy: Young And A Met
“It’s great to be young and a Giant.” – “Laughing” Larry Doyle, New York second-baseman, 1911
In the history of baseball, certain archetypes have arisen to define positions on the field. Much like you can divine the attributes of the students who live in a particular house in a Harry Potter novel – Ravenclaw for the warrior, Hufflepuff for the clownish, Slitherin...

Mets lose as Murphy boots two
Well, this is something we might see more than a few times this season. Daniel Murphy collected a pair of hits, but also botched a couple of plays in the field in the eighth inning to cost Frank Francisco the game in a 3-2 loss to the Nationals.
This will happen more than a few times this season, so let’s get used to it. Murphy is learning the position and the Mets don’...

What If Daniel Murphy Never Got Injured?
In Spring Training of 2010, the Mets were coming off of a season of a horrific pileup of injuries. Virtually every starting position player suffered some sort of injury except for the 24-year old Daniel Murphy who put together a breakout year. The age of Carlos Delgado around the bag at first had come to a close and a new era was beginning. It appeared after many positional changes...

Why half the fan base opposes Daniel Murphy
Mets fans are a diverse lot. However, there is an awful lot regarding the team with which the vast majority of us can agree. We all want owners who will fund a payroll in line with what other large market clubs do, we all love R.A. Dickey and we all want to see Ike Davis play in 150 games this year.
Because so many issues on the team are cut and dried, the ones where the fan...

I Don’t See Murphy As Part Of The Future Plan
I’m a big Daniel Murphy fan. I love his determination, I’m impressed by his plate approach, I believe in his value as an offensive player, and his enthusiasm is totally awesome. That said, I just don’t see him as part of the master plan. I’ve heard and read all the quotes about him being the everyday second baseman next season, but I’m not at all thrilled...

Daniel Murphy Tears ACL Pivoting Child Off His Knee At Mets Christmas Party
Daniel Murphy has been moved to the 60 day DL in injuring his left knee while trying to make the pivot in removing a small boy from his knee. Murphy, who is this year's Santa Claus at the Mets Christmas party, was talking to reporters that he has worked hard on his double play pivot, and should be "flawless" in his pivot on the double play. Murphy was injured (knee...
