kidtwentytwo 5,507 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 One has to wonder what happens when Adams & Zimmerman return. He has not been playing 2b. Link to post Share on other sites
screaming_vultures 1,669 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 best game so far Link to post Share on other sites
Members_Only_76 7,283 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 out of the lineup today (bummer AL game). he's played more since coming off DL than I thought he would so far though. as @kidtwentytwo said, kind of worried about his PT once Zimm/Adams are back. AL games, DL slot. NL games, 1st base platoon Or he finally feels well enough to play 2 B Link to post Share on other sites
TheBigBambino 41 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Time to drop him? Link to post Share on other sites
Gumbo_Ghost 1,140 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 I was offered him in a trade, and just couldn’t accept... I tried, I wanted too. Not playing enough Not doing anything Not playing 2B at all, and like others have said, RZimm and Adams coming back Link to post Share on other sites

I'm holding in my 8 team right now but it is looking like a losing move by the day. it has been 14 games and this guy has to have a long leash IMO, 40+ doubles AND an average way north of .300 is very rare in today's game. he's not like Eaton where a lot of his value was in his speed cat contribution, but as I noted previously, his overall running ability is SEVERELY diminished now: https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/sprint_speed_leaderboard Murphy's 3 year average was right around 26 ft/sec, he's now under 24 and the slowest non-catcher in the league besides Kendrys Morales. I'm in an OPS league so I need his 2Bs, and can see them easily cut in half I think by the end of this post I've realized it's close to drop city for this guy.. But the Nationals just scored 17 runs and need to play better and I can manage holding on the bench for now Link to post Share on other sites

billofwa 325 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Leg still bothering him. He needs to be put back on DL. Link to post Share on other sites
Gandalfthecat 866 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Life has many twists and turns. Not only is he playing, he’s playing 2B. Link to post Share on other sites
Gandalfthecat 866 Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Ahhh there’s that beautiful swing I remember. Link to post Share on other sites
Members_Only_76 7,283 Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Of course when I bench him. But happy to see it. Good to see him plant and generate the lower body power. He tried to go first to third and got thrown out. But. Mooky threw a dart and Murphy didn’t look too awful running. Not 100% of course. Let’s see see if he has any soreness or after effects.

Yep we all benched him for that one. But that swing looked like the Murph of old, not just swinging with the hands. Hopefully the start of a rebound. Link to post Share on other sites
Baur10 2,152 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 I just bought. May regret it and obviously can't rely on him as an everyday bat right now but if these signs of life are real Link to post Share on other sites
DFWSooner 228 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 He's sitting again today. Ive never had him on my roster before but I obviously know how good of a hitter he can be when healthy. I just hope he returns to that form soon. I've turned down some pretty good offers for him. Link to post Share on other sites
winkler29 5 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 [Removed Cool Story] ...hoping he has a big 2nd half and looks like the Murphy of old. Link to post Share on other sites
3Sheets1elbow 142 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 A reason to stick with Murphy unless you get an offer you can't pass on. June 12 - June 22 (First 33 AB) Avg. Exit Velocity - 84.3 mph xwOBA - .269 xSLG - .328 June 23 - July 8th (Next 39 AB) Avg. Exit Velocity - 88.4 mph xwOBA - .395 xSLG - .534 FB/LD Exit Velocity has increased 2.4 mph and he's hitting more 21 to 18 Link to post Share on other sites

weakkneeswilly 751 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Murphy was 4-4 last night but he hit from the 7 hole. With a day game after a night game Murphy is not in the lineup today. Link to post Share on other sites
brockpapersizer 11,927 Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Daniel Murphy has quietly been beasting lately. I have him on a dynasty team and even I didn't notice that he's raised his ba to nearly 280 for the season. This month he's slashing 339/390/500 in 71 PA. It's not even really babip driven with a 331 considering he was north of 340 the previous two seasons. Don't know his defense has been, but dude has been mashing like many thought he could in the second half. Decent chance he improves even further too. Link to post Share on other sites
