Of course. What more does one have to do to stop being referred to as trade bait or as a fill for a prospect?

So what if he doesn’t hit for power? Is that it? We have Wright, Davis and Duda for that.

I also don’t think being 27 means being over the hill.

The entire team is hitting lower this year than they did last with the exception of Wright.
And now that Duda and Davis are starting to hit watch Murphy start hitting too.

It goes into the lockeroom and is a big part of the fighting attitude we are seeing from this team.
Last year we lost Davis on May 10th…Our Record at the time was 16-20

Murphy became an everyday player and thats when this team started fighting and playing above .500 baseball!

May 10th we were a .444 team, The remainder of May we were a .500 team. After that we were a .593 team (cause Turner came in and showed the best clutch hitting all year!)

All that without reyes, Wright and Davis to carry us.

Murphy is a big part of the HEART of this team!
Anyone who dismisses it risks doing what Cashen did when he thought Ray Knight wasn’t worth having anymore!

They never won another World series after that part of nthe lockeroom was ripped from them!

I really don’t understand how anyone could think Daniel Murphy’s days are numbered.

He has already proven he is a major league hitter, a smart one and one who hits in the clutch. He is in a slump – nothing more. And to talk about replacing him with a five year minor leaguer who has all of 56 plate appearances in the big leagues? And after four years on the farm, instead of giving him a shot a second the front office went out and got Brad Emus in the rule five draft to cover the keystone base.

I can see Valdy being a utility player but Murphy hasn’t really been killing us at second. Yes, he still has one or two games where he really is muffing it in the field but he has learned how to make the pivot, go back on those short pop ups, position himself where he can snare line drives and has not caused Ike Davis to save him like David Wright with his throws.

The Mets have enough potential home run hitters in Wright, Duda, Davis and for the moment Hairston to compensate for Murph’s lack of power.

But second is Murph’s position until he loses it. Trade bait? That’s another possibility but then, that applies to most every player if the right circumstances come about.

You’re kind of like Bay’s athletic supporter, right?

I see it doesnt matter where or when you post those 2 trolls Donal & Zanca seem to follow you like a flies to dog sh*t.

Instead of disproving what you stated with their opinion, they make snide remarks and comments because you didnt use statistics to back up your argument. Shame on you Bayonne for having an opinion based on what YOU SEE with your own EYES. Dont you know Bayonne that you cant have an opinion without coming up with a crazy stat from fangraph to back it up. Prove statistically that Wright is a softee and turns into a mouse when his team needs him to step up and come up big in a bind.

I also want to voice my opinion on a topic concerning the best burger at Citi Field, Shake Shack or Keith’s Grill. I say Shack’s but i’m trying to come up with a STAT to prove my point wouldnt want the Sabr-goons like Donal and Jessep criticizing my opinion based on how I SEE things.

Ooops!!! hope I didnt say anything that wasnt pro D.Wright dont want Russel Zanca after me since in his own words “He loves Wright” in a Justin Beiber way
