What's your problem with that quote? You wouldn't consider a combined 11-2 record with an era around 1.3 to be "stupid" good? Or do you just not like the phrase? I hate the phrase. He's been a scout for over 30 years. I'm assuming he's over 50. It's bad enough when a 20 year old talks like that. What's next? Yo, that Samardzija is just phat. sorry, grandpa
Murton is a better player RIGHT NOW. Two years ago? You gotta give it to Cliff, but his day is past. The better chance to win now is with Murton batting 2nd in the lineup and starting 75% of games in LF and spelling Jones one day a week in RF. Cliff Floyd has had one lousy year - last year - and he was hurt for most of that time. The difference between Floyd and Murton in terms of production is pretty small, and I suspect that your position as "Archbishop of the Church of Murton" is making it a little hard for you to view this topic objectively.
