So he goes to the outfield and butchers some balls - wow, surprise, major league outfielders are not made overnight. The Mets needed to get an outfield specialist like a Bill Virdon (who's probably too old now) to help make Murphy a competent LF. Remember, it was Virdon that turned Lou Piniella into a decent OF - Lou was a great hitter-poor fielder when he joined the Yankees - Virdon changed that. So it's the same with first base - maybe the Mets need to hire a John Olerud to work with Murphy on his play at first.Jonmouk71noreply@blogger.com
