Murphy makes some sense for the right pieces.
He will hit you .285, .330, .420. We could have used that last year for sure. He is average but I can live with average right now.

I just read where we are interested in bringing back Freddy Garcia.
Go ahead and hand us the division title now. I call your Fister/Mclouth moves and raise you a Garcia !

Hopefully we avoid getting Fistered too hard, would be a new vocabulary word for Chip.

Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?
They also have Soriono, whom I guess is the DH.
Literally 6 outfielders. And are interested in Ibanez...

I doubt they find anyone to take on Soriano, so Gardner is really their only player with any value.

Chopping With The Braves And Rolling With The Tide
I like the idea of going after Daniel Murphy as well. He is amazingly similar to Chris Johnson. CJ is a lifetime .289/.328/.438 hitter. Murphy is a lifetime .290/.333/.424 hitter. Murphy had an almost identical season to what Johnson had this year back in 2011. If anything I think Murphy is the better player because he plays plus defense at 3B and can play 2B which adds a ton of value. If Johnson regresses next year Murphy would be an ideal platoon partner and La Stella can still play 2B. Maybe its the pain of watching two sub .200 hitters starting every game that makes me highly value batting average. Replace a .190 hitter with a .290 hitter, thats 1 more hit out of every 10 at bats. A little BABIP magic like he had in 2011 and it would be close to 1.5 hits out of every 10 at bats.
I am also getting a bad vibe that the Braves are going to trade for Samardzija. Maybe he becomes that ace so many think we need, I just dont see him being better than a mid rotation starter.
