Add Dan Murphy???

Yea I agree he is likely more valuable regardless. I was just throwing that out there because being in the #2 hole bumps his value quite a bit and I personally expect him to be a fixture at #7 unless Castillo falls apart again.

Murphy's .397 OBP and .871 OPS from last year and his minor league numbers ( http://minors.baseball-reference.com/pl ... ?pid=31343 ) indicate Castillo's days are numbered at the front of the order.

Castillo's career numbers are .367 OBP and .772 OPS http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/567 ... LKz4GFCLcF

But like you said his numbers took a big dip last year.

I'm dropping Arroyo for Murphy. I'm last in the waiver order anyway, so I'm putting in the waiver claim to force anyonw who wants him to use their waiver claim to get him.

I read an article yesterday on Murphy, it said he's likely be dropped to the lower end of the order against lefties to allow Castillo to bad 2nd vs. the southpaws.

The Pirates assigned OF Andrew McCutchen to Triple-A and SS Brian Bixler to minor league camp on Monday.

I would grab him for Dickerson, McCutcheon, looks to make the team but I dunno about playing time, I would use him to find another 3B option for your team since Mora is old and Blalock is injury prone

comment on mine, please?

And what the hell does that have to do with Dan Murphy or the Mets?

probaly extra helpful advice, since McCutcheon is on his roster too,, I thought we were all here to help each other out, not be rude to other's post.

NICE!

Thanks guys!!!!

I wound up adding Murphy and dropped Dickerson. I am going to hang on to McCutcheon as long as possible to see if he makes it up.

As for the CI's I understand. this was an auction draft and I wound up blowing most of my wad on the OF, Webb and Papelbon. Mora was awesome in the 2nd half last year; hopefully he can keep that up for a while this season.

Well good news, I was wrong.

Manuel went on record today saying that Murphy would regularly bat 2nd.
