I'm kind of excited about this kid. Maybe something good will come out of the Nomar trade.

very excited. i have high expectations, not outlandinsh, but i think he'll do well and i think i'll end up drafting him a lot for the bench.

I just hope the Thunder Matt nickname will catch on.

I know Maddux had a different name for him last year. The first time Maddux saw Murton he asked someone (Dempster, i think) "Who's the orange guy?"


I will say that Thunder Matt does sound a good bit better than Orange Guy, but Orange Guy is funny as hell.

The Orange Crush might be a good nickname for him as well.

I think this kid will smack 25-30

If Dusty Baker can get him in and start a young player for once. I believe that he and Cedeno will have amazing years. I just hope they can put up some good stats. I have them as bench players in all my keeper leagues. If they do well they could be good young keepers.

Where do you think Murton will and should bat in the order?

If Jones bats 5th I hope they put Murton 6th.
