Even I shudder at the thought of a Murphy-Bay-Duda OF. Maybe Reyes can play “rover” and Wright can play left-side.
Obviously, Murphy cannot play center. Duda is expected to be in right. So if Murphy is an outfielder, he would be back in left, a position he tried and failed to play in 2009. And if Murphy is in left, Bay is either on another team, or in center.
The scout was not enthusiastic about a Murphy-Bay-Duda outfield.
“Oh my God,” he said.
Still, he endorsed the idea of again trying Murphy in left. “We all know Murphy can hit,” the scout said.
via Mets’ Jason Bay could move to center field in 2012, team up with Daniel Murphy, Lucas Duda in OF.
