I'm listening to ppl tell me this guy is an all-star and I am just dying with laughter from it.
Now any posters who just jerk off to fantasy and don't actually WATCH this guy play- their opinions aren't going to mean much. Because the truth is, his numbers on paper are not bad.
But am I the only one who sees what a defensive liability this guy is?
He is by far THE WORST 2b in MLB defensively.
I don't care what his fielding % is.
%'s don't mean shit because it doesn't evaluate the guy's range really.
He is just terrible out there.
He can't field, has ZERO range, panics, makes the wrong decision every time, cannot turn a double play cleanly with pressure, drops popups.
I mean the catastrophe's I have seen with him on the field have been just bush league with him.
His glove alone has already cost the Mets 4 to 5 wins this year, and we are only what 70 games in?
That is pretty fkn huge.
He is awful running the bases, although his stolen base % is probably very good.
It doesn't show how many times this guy has killed a rally fukkin up on the base paths.
He just has ZERO game sense.
He was a disaster at 1b, a disaster in the outfield, and he's an even worse disaster at a more important position being second base now.
Every time the ball is hit to him you have to hold your breath.
Offensively, he's way overrated.
He has no power, average speed, rarely walks, awful slugging %, he's basically a solid singles hitter with occasional gap-pop.
Career .290 hitter, which is good. But what else does this guy offer other than a single? I just don't see it.
Is this guy really going to get a BIG contract next year?
I can't see giving this guy more than 5-8 million per year.
I am guessing he's going to get WAY more.
Probably in the 10-13 mill a year range??
I am just praying it's not the Mets who give it to him.
It is just a bust waiting to happen.
They already gave a joke of a contract to Granderson AKA Jason Bay Jr.
And let's not forget chris young lol.
Jesus it's like they jut try to lose and put a team of shitbags out there.
METS FANS CHECK THE FK IN.
DO YOU WANT MURPHY ON A LONG TERM CONTRACT AFTER THIS YEAR?
