If you can’t do that or are unwilling then it will be obvious to everyone that you never looked at the Data just made an assesment out of your usual THIN AIR and the BA list!

You say he sucks!
I say he could be a 3B for a whole lot of teams that need more pop out of the 3B or 1B position!

He’s got a FP as good as BAGWELL who won the GG in 94!

So if Bagwell could win the GG so too could Murphy with the numbers he compiled just this year!

post the average and we’ll talk.

Nope and why don’t you put down your issue of BA and take a look!

While your at it take a look at the GG winner at 1B for the NL in 1994!

What he does in the MiL doesn’t count in the MLB!
The MLB is FILLED with guys who didn’t do squat in thre MiLs only to get promoted and become GREAT MLB PLAYERS!

You wouldn’t know that cause your head is stuck up the MiL butt!

But then again if the guy isn’t AllStar, Gold Glove or on Baseball Americas list he is WORTHLESS because thats the only thing you care about!

Never what he does just what you THINK (HAHAHAHA) he did!

Tell me WHEN was he supposed to win the Gold Glove? Did they vote that yet?
COULD he have won a GG if he was even the best 1B ever considering this was his first full year in the Majors?

He has less errors this season that all the former GG winners we have on the team…

But he didn’t show up on BAs list so he must be worthless…

and you call that THINKING!

Who is it? Its not someone who has like 4 games at 3B is it?

And lifetime, Murphy is .933.

and we’re not even going to mention what he did in the minors.

No idea. But I don’t think he’s league average as a 3B

“And not as good as ANY 1B either!”

No idea. But he’s really not a world changer at 1B either.

I really don’t think we’d get value. Not compared to what he does for the Mets.

And not as good as ANY 1B either!

Thats your opinion of a .320 hitter who has a .984 FPct and fewer errors than Reyes (Gold Glove) Wright (Gold Glove) Turner and Tejada!

While playing 1st 3rd and 2nd in 105 games

On the face of it, hearing that probably leaves little wiggle room to re-sign Jose Reyes, fix the bullpen and any of the remaining issues with this team.

MY CONTENTION IS THAT I BELIEVE YOU’RE FORGETTING THAT $9M OF REYES EVENTUAL SALARY IS ALREADY INCLUDED IN WHATEVER CURRENT PROJECTION U USE FOR THE 2010 END CUT. PRIMARILY MEANING THE NET INCREASE IS CERTAINLY NOT AS BURDENSOME AS YOUR ‘SM WIGGLE ROO’M WOULD PORTEND. U LATER INDICATE U ANTICIPATE A ‘FAIR’ REYES DEAL TO BE BETWEEN 14-18M PER FOR 5+.
FIRST OFF BEFORE ANYONE’S KNICKERS GET SOILED, I BELIEVE IT’S THE ANNUAL NUT NOT THE ENTIRE PKG THAT THIS OWNERSHIP IS MORE FOCUSED ON. USING YOUR 14-18 NUMBERS(I CONSIDER VERY UNLIKELY,LOW) AS I BELIEVE 20-22M PER A MORE LIKELY TOLL; EITHER WAY USING YOURS REQUIRES ADDITIONAL OUTPUT OF 5-9M, USING MINE IT’S 11-13M HIGHER THAN PRESENT ALLOCATION @ SS. IT CERTAINLY IS FEASABLE THAT REYES MAY BE THE DEFENDING BATTING TITLIST & ASKING HIM TO TAKE LESS THAN TULOWITZKI IS A STRETCH, TODAY HE IS THE SECOND HIGHEST PAID SS IN MLB(TO TULOW)PRIOR TO TULOW’S DEAL HE HAD BEEN #1 & WHILE I SPECULATE THAT’S A MORE PERTINENT COMPARISON THAN CRAWFORD; I’D COUNT IT MORE LIKELY. EITHER WAY, IMO, THE 22M/Y # CAN CERTAINLY BE ACCOMODATED WITHIN ALDERSON’S MOST CONSERVATIVE LOW ESTIMATE OF $100M A PAYROLL LEVEL 22 OF THE 30 MLB TEAMS SURVIVE UNDER COMFORTABLY INCL OTHER SOCALLED BIG MARKETEERS LIKE THE LA DODGERS @ $95,358,016 & DWINDLING & THEIR MORE FINANCIALLY HEALTHY NEIGHBOR, LAA OF A ARE ONLY BARELY OVER THE 100M BAR @ $104,963,866. SO CONTRARY TO THE BS IMPLICATIONS BEING TOUTED BY THE NYPRESS UNDER 100M IS CERTAINLY NOT PAUPERISHLY BORDERING ON PANHANDLING FOR PLAYERS. MORE IMPORTANTLY, LOS ANGELES IS THE ONLY OTHER MLB GEOGRAPHY WHERE A COMPARISON TO NY DOESN’T INCLUDE A HUMONGOUS(10%+) SURCHARGE ON PLAYER SALARIES IN OVERALL TAXES TO BE PAID.(NYC IS ONLY US CITY WITH AN INCOME TAX ADDED TO STATE BURDEN UPON WORKERS)[LA REALESTATE TAX LEVELS ASSIST IN MODERATING THE DELTA IN TAX BURDEN] NYS & CA STATE TAX CODES & LEVELS CLOSE ENOUGH TO BE NEGLIGIBLE DIFFERENTIATION.

BACK TO YOUR INITIAL QUESTION AFTER A QUICK PERUSAL OF YOUR PLAYER AVAILABILITY LIST, ONLY INFANTE PIQUES MY INTEREST IN POTENTIALLY A 1 OR 2 YR DEAL AT NO MORE THAN $4M PER & I’D GIVE SERIOUS CONSIDERATION TO BYRDAK TO REMAIN AS THE LATE LOOGEY WHILE PERHAPS SUPPLYING A SECOND SITUATIONAL,EARLY LOOGEY FROM WITHIN LIKE HERRERA, PERHAPS. Re BULLPEN IN GENERAL, LOW COST[INTERNAL] OPTIONS WILL BE PARAMOUNT.

BTW. PERSONALLY, I BELIEVE PITCHING IS OUR ACHILLES HEAL TO PROGRESSING FROM COMPETITOR TO CONTENDER & IT’S VERY DOUBTFUL ALDERSON WILL HAVE ENOUGH FINANCIAL WHEREWITHALL TO INK REYES & UPGRADE PITCHING MUCH MORE THAN LAST YR’S CAP & YOUNG CALIBER ADDITIONS, BECAUSE OF THAT BELIEF, I SEE 2012 AS ANOTHER COMPETITOR YEAR(.500 GIVE OR TAKE) & 2013 AS A POTENTIAL W/C CONTENDER LEAVING 2014 AS THE ULTIMATE DIVISION TITLE CHALLENGE YEAR SANS SANTANA & BAY(LIKELY PICARD ALSO) FINANCIAL BURDENS WITH HARVEY,FAMILIA,WHEELER,MEJIA,GORSKI,GEE,NIESE ALL VIABLE STRONG CONTRIBUTORS. JUST LIKE THE 80s THE REAL NOISE CAME AFTER THE NUDGEOUTS OF ’84 & ’85 WHEN PITCHING IN FLUSHING BECAME OUR OPPONENTS BIGGEST FEAR-FACTOR FOR 1986!
QUERY: UNDER THE GUISE OF HISTORY BEING REPETITIVE, COULD PARNELL EVENTUALLY END UP BEING THIS CENTURY’S NEIL ALLEN?

“You mean to say your favorite player is worse than EVERY OTHER 3B or 1B in the MLB?”

I’m saying he’s not a good 3B and he’s not at the top of 1B.

“Even with that .320 BA?”

Ya. His high batting average doesn’t really help his fielding. Offense and Defense are 2 different things.

“Only way he is NOT a desirable trade prospect is if he is worse than every other 3B the other teams have!”

No, not really.

“I tend to think your biasing your opinion of his trade worth based on his past listings on Baseball America not what he showed on the field as an MLB player!”

Did I miss the Gold Glove he won? I must have.

“But then again what else is new?”

Daniel Murphy’s Gold Glove apparently

You mean to say your favorite player is worse than EVERY OTHER 3B or 1B in the MLB?

Even with that .320 BA?

Only way he is NOT a desirable trade prospect is if he is worse than every other 3B the other teams have!

I tend to think your biasing your opinion of his trade worth based on his past listings on Baseball America not what he showed on the field as an MLB player!

But then again what else is new?

YOU are misreading the REPORTS!

I challenged you to name the even they lost their wealth before and you backed down.

So the challenge remains, show us all the event that cost them their entire worth and if you can’t then I guess this MYTH of yours will be done with!

Despite every report to the contrary, you say they are still rich, well then, they must be.

The Wilpons WERE RICH!
They were given 300 Million MORE by Madoff…

Less Rich or More Rich? What do you think?

If you were POOR and I gave you 300 Million would you be MORE POOR or LESS POOR?

Here endith the financial lessons and the MYTH of Wilpons being broke!

WHich is a fantasy that this site should have cured you of YEARS AGO!

NO ONE thinks like YOU DO here!
Not even JESSUP!

Which kid in the next draft is better than him Hmm?
No? Don’t have an answer?

Are you trying to suggest he’s worse than EVERY guy who plays those positions in the MLB?

And if so PROVE IT show us the numbers because I don’t know many 3Bs who were 4th in the batting race not even Wright!
