Jesus, you dont notice it when he's pitching, but Marshall looks like he's on stilts up there in the battersbox.

Hendry refused to do the deal without Murton as I recall. He knew what he was getting.

I thought that Hendry insisted the Sox add in Murton since we were giving up so many kids to get everyone what they needed for us to get Garciaparra.

Murton was a last minute throw in, but yeah, it worked out well for us.

Hendry refused to do the deal without Murton as I recall. He knew what he was getting.

 

Murton was the eighth, coming to the Cubs as the proverbial throw-in player Hendry had scouted but hardly coveted.

 

"I think his name first came up at (2:50) and five minutes later, with five minutes to spare, we had a deal," Hendry recalled. "It was quick, I know that."

Marshall does take some good hacks though. He doesn't look completely out of his element in the box.
