Actually, if the organization has settled on Murton as no more than a platoon OF, I support them trading him for value (i.e., not Matt Karchner). Fill his role with DeRosa or, ultimately, Jake Fox.
Do you ever have anything good to say? Ever? The Cubs spend enough money to field a winning team. The Cubs organization is pretty good at developing pitchers. Ryan Theriot is a nice little ballplayer. I believe Felix Pie will someday be one of the best players in baseball.
That's not uncommon amongst bad baseball players. ??? DeRosa isn't a "bad baseball player." Not compared to every living human on the planet. Compared to other MLB players, he is.
Will Soriano's contract wind up as the worst in MLB history? Will "Hendry" become a verb, meaning "to overpay based on a career year way out of line with the rest of the career"? "Yeah, he Hendried him."
