Don’t re-sign Murph, WAR tells us you can grab anyone, right?

How do you like the lineup with Murphy in it so far?

Hi “Advanced” Stats crowd.

I know you like your WAR. That’s the thing where you take a guy who actually exists and compare him to a hypothetical minor leaguer.

So let’s imagine you replaced Daniel Murphy with random guys from the minor leagues. You know, the Munos and Campbells of the world. How do you suppose that would look in the real world?

If you have been watching any Mets game – Sandy I am talking to you – you should realize that .290 hitters don’t grow on trees. Time to write Murph a check and extend him.

  1. metspolice Given Wright’s situation it makes sense to try and resign Murphy, but not to play second base. I see, well, hope, Herrera is guy
