David Murphy - Talksox

SchillingIsTheNatural · 11-04-2005, 12:11 PM

I don't know if anyone has been keeping track but 24 year old David Murphy is really starting to turn it on in the Arizona Fall League. He is now batting .319/.364/.528. As far as I know his hitting is the only thing stopping him from making a run to be on a major league team. I hear he is a fantastic defensive outfielder and if he can get his swing under control and put up numbers he could become our top OF prospect. It is possible Murphy could be our next Trot Nixon.

Per rotoworld

David Murphy went 3-for-5 with a triple and two runs scored today for the Saguaros of the AFL.

Murphy is batting .319/.364/.528 in 72 at-bats. He started off 3-for-21, so he's played very well the last three weeks.

We could use him, especially now, while most of our OF is in limbo.

David Murphy was promoted to Pawtucket today.

Its great to see so many of our prospects getting promoted so early in the season, and many surely will get a chance at the next level.

Murphy hits a 2-run home run in his 1st Triple A at bat

Thre's no clear-cut layout for how our PF will turn out, and chances are it could turn into a log-jam, with us getting Wily Mo, Coco, and our propsects comin up like Murphy and Ellsbury

The kid has deceptive power. I saw him hit 2 Homers in ST with a very easy swing that looked like he was just trying to make contact.

CrespoBlows · 05-26-2006, 11:55 PM

He's more of a gap hitter. He had 17 doubles in AA.

There's something about Portland( Hanley, Murphy ) that makes very good prospect look mediocre .

Murphy = Future .280, 15-20hr type

2-4 with a home run and a walk for pawsox tonight. .339avg, 1.083 ops in 55 ab since being called up to AAA ...

We desperately need a 4th OF. It would be better if he was a righty, but he can chase down flies, and if he can hit a little, he can spell Manny when his Hammies act up and Nixon when his back acts up.

Gabe Kapler is set to come back by late this month. New reports on Wily Mo Pena have him coming back around the all-star break. Cant wait to have this outfield

Manny
Coco
Trot
Gabe
Wily Mo

Good to hear that David Murphy is doing very well this season, he could be valuable to the Sox as trade bait.

I think Murphy will be our 4th OF next year, seeing some time in RF when Willy Mo needs a day off.

Manny
Coco
Willy Mo
Murphy
Kapler (if he comes back and is healthy next year)

I could see that, plus he can play all 3 OF positions, and could be a late inning defensive replacement.
