Murt for LF '07.

[A New Era]

Muton developing some power eh? Does anyone think this is a case of sample size, or that murton might perhaps beable to hit 20 HR next year?

[Brian]

Cedeno strikes out

[cheapseats]

bctowns (Chicago, IL): So you think Matt Murton can be the answer in left? No more power than he and Jones in the corner outfield spots? Again, thanks for chatting.

 

Christina Kahrl: I don't think he has the up-side as a hitter to be an offensive asset on a team that needs as much as the Cubs do. If they landed a top center fielder to upgrade on Pierre, and they got a real offensive force at second, sure, they could live with Murton. But that's a lot of predicates, and they might instead decide to leave him alone, and go into 2007 with appropriately low expectations.

If he's alowed to play the whole year, it's entirely possible IMO.

 

 

Hill grounds out.

10 in his first full year, so yeah, possible.

[Brian]

Pierre grounds out to pitcher.

[Brian]

I'd really like to have Murton lead of next year

Not even a full year though - he has almost 100 less AB than Jones in RF. He very well could have 12-14 by now

[Brian]

Len with a Big Murt mention!

[CuseCubFan69]

He will if my Soriano/AJones/ARod schemes come through!

I think he will develop some more power and I think he will hit 20 HR next year.

 

ETA 'more'.
