With his work ethic, and the fact that when we play those exhibition games, Dan Murphy is going to go play second base. He’s going to play a lot of second base, because the only way he’s going to get better is to be out there. Even though they are exhibition games, I want him out there getting used to being in the middle of the infield.”
via Murphy is the second baseman – Mets Blog – ESPN New York.
Way back when when “Mets Police” was an email chain to 4 guys you would have gotten about 5,000 emails from me asking why the hell the Mets didn’t get Piazza more reps at first base that year whatever year that was.
Make Murph play 9 every day all spring. 270 innings. (No need to comment about rest/heat/etc, I’m obviously being extreme.)
