Knowing how Sandy likes Sabers and OBP My guess is he will look to see if Wright hits more HRs or gets his BA up to around .300 which would increase his OBP as well.

Wright will be playing for a new contract next year and Murphy will be playing to prove the knees are good and the .320 is not a fuke.

Let’s see how Murph recovers before we start going all radical change happy.

I like that idea (and managed to say it in under 100 words!).

There’s no way this kid is going back to 2nd. Let’s quit the fantasy right there. Either Murph gets to 3B or we find him a spot in the outfield to play.

And will Turner or Tejada keep doing what we like about nthem when they are sitting on the bench?

It’s time to make some trades and some of them will be painful as it will be with guys who deserved a chance to stay and play.
But in the end you have to trade what you have too much of and get something you don’t have enough of and I am afraid 2B is one of those places where there is just too much at one spot.
Havens only adds the the Quandry

That really is his best opportunity to get extended time at one position, at least until Lagares or even Ratliff get up here.

I’m not saying I 100% (or even 25% for that matter) endorse it, but Wright could probably handle 2B better than Murph and it gets both those bats in the lineup.

Just trying to think outside the box. The idea won’t hold water, I know, but it beats rehashing the same crappolla time and again.
