Video: Murphy Sets Sights on Second Chance
As Murphy stated, this will be his third Spring Training and his third position. Maybe the third time will be the charm for Murphy.
I like Murphy's willingness to roll with the punches. I make fun of his fielding all the time, but he hasn't complained once about the moves the Mets have made with him defensively (umm...left field anyone?). At least he tries.
The Mets have said that there will be competition for the second base position. His competition is Luis Castillo, the man the Mets wouldn't even let leave the dugout toward the end of last season, and a man whom the Mets would get rid of in a heart beat if they could.
This is not a competition. A competition should be between two players who deserve to be on the field. This competition only has one, and his name is Murphy.
