He made it when he had no more Holla/Lawton options. I can't wait for Baker to leave and it can't be soon enough. Exactly, the alternative was Hairston everyday, and those two platooned for a little bit before Murton's performance/Dusty's distaste for Hairston won out. I forgot about Hairston! Just call me Dusty. I will be thrilled if the Cubs sign 3 OF's better than Murton but I know that if Hendry picks up 3 vets and no matter what their skill level is that they will get the first shot to play. I will be totally bewildered if Murton doesn't get first crack at LF next year. There's not much more he could have done in his 150 AB's. He showed power, average, patience, speed... ...mastery of the crap single...
