Working on this guy next, trying to alternate between pitcher and fielder. Let's look first at Rob Hallet's version...but remember this was 2009, almost FIVE YEARS AGO!

Quote:
Daniel Murphy
Mets
LF/3B/1B
L/R
Contact 7
Power 112
Run speed 7
Arm strength 9
Fielding 8
Trj 2
E-res 8

Hot hitter
firstball hitter
tough out
Base running 4
tough runner


So yeah at the time, Murphy wasn't even a 2B yet. His primary position has always been 3B, but David Wright's presence forced him to spend time in LF, 1B, and even 2B. So this presents a problem - he has 4 major league positions, but the game only allows 3. He's probably best at 3B, but with just 28 games lifetime there, it's not a good sample size. He's struggled off and on everywhere else...every time I watch a Mets game, Murphy is trying to tag a guy when he shouldn't, or booting a ball...bottom line is, I can't make him a good fielder. And I think 2B has to be in there...but which other two?

Murphy's best asset has got to be contact, with a .290 average - so that has to be high C or low B category at least. He does have a little power - 112 is a good start, maybe higher for all his doubles. He's also got speed, 55 career steals, 35 doubles a year or so, so a run speed of 10-11 seems possible. He had 2 assists from the OF in 60 games, and had to play 3B decently, so an arm of D (9) seems appropriate. Fielding being 7 or 8 is fine - he's consistently been a negative defensively according to SABR and advanced stats.

BaseRunning 4 seems good - maybe that helps explain all his steals?
Durability 2 might be appropriate given his missed time
I might also do Error Prone, just from the personal experience of seeing him goof up in games so often at 2B

Thoughts/feedback before I get too far in?

I've had him in fantasy te last 2 years and yes, his contact is good. That's all I've got :lol:

Contact should be a 9 at least, maybe more in the 10-11 range.

Contact should be low C imo

error prone is a must

Well its done, and I got what I wanted - durability 2, error prone, and 3 positions...I really regret not doing 3B as my main, but oh well...he can now play along with David Wright on the same team.

I ended up with too many blues, Power Hitter being the worst, so I shaved some off his power. Hopefully he makes everyone happy!
