Bother these guys have the talent to do better and this team, with all these injuries, can not survive in 2015 without them being productive.Mack Adehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09730548449011685243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-13733642377807036712015-04-21T17:59:58.633-04:002015-04-21T17:59:58.633-04:00Jaron,

If so , he needs to shake it off and get his bat going if doesn't want a pay cut after this year. From what I've read, most teams see him as a supersub rather than a second baseman. Think Ben Zobrist. <br /><br />With Herrera coming up, unfortunately we have no where to put him. The only I could see him remaining a Met is at a significant pay cut (at least 3-4 million) and in a supersub role, probably replacing Soup. Even that would be a slim possibility, seeing how much less Soup makes. The only advantage to Murph is that he's proven. I'll miss him. I hope he lands somewhere where he can play 3B. That's definitely his bast position.Steve from Norfolkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13317923693948342010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-70909628902072797232015-04-21T16:24:47.440-04:002015-04-21T16:24:47.440-04:00I wonder how long they are going to wait for Murph...I wonder how long they are going to wait for Murphy. The front office reached out to both Juan and Lucas to extended them and Murphy wasn't even approached? Writing is on the wall if you ask me. Daniel Murphy will not be the Mets 2nd basemen next year. I have doubts that he will be after the all star break.
