Actually we really need to when most of them enter for the save or the hold. I was holding my breath for each one of them last night.

I can absolutely see Murphy getting shipped out ... And, as much as I like him, I don't think that it's a bad move ...

I love and respect all of my MOL Mets brethren and sisthren (whatever). That said, I think any of you who thinks a team would give up a GOOD reliever for Daniel Murphy has had a Rheingold or two too many. Just my opinion.

If Murphy is hitting .300+ with a decent OBP he's a good commodity for middle relief/set-up. He's a lot like the guy from Texas, Michael Young. Both are above avg. hitters who don't particularly excel in defense. that's why i think Murph ends up as a DH by the end of the season.

I never said for only Daniel Murphy. he would be part of a package with a minor leaguer or two, and maybe picking up a chunk of salary.

This week's Sports Illustrated says Michael Young is the most UNDER-RATED fielder in a poll of MLB players ...
Edited to clarify ... The poll was "Who is the most UNDER-RATED position player?" ...
Train_of_Thought said:
Michael Young is a 7-time All-Star with over 2100 Major League hits and a career .300, who was an every day position player for over 10 years, only really becoming a part-time position/part-time DH last year, in the twilight of his career. So, I'm gonna assume you're only comparing Murphy to the Michael Young of 2011-2012.

I still only see that garnering a mediocre, journeyman type, at best. I don't recall teams trading quality relief pitchers very often.
