Nationals To Sign Daniel Murphy
原網址:http://goo.gl/PbfNFs
The Nationals have agreed to a three-year deal with second baseman Daniel
Murphy, ESPN’s Jim Bowden reports (via Twitter). The deal will become
official once Murphy passes a physical, as per FOX Sports’ Ken Rosenthal.
Murphy is represented by the ACES agency.
Washington’s interest in Murphy was first reported by MLB.com’s Bill Ladson
last week. The Nats have been looking for infield help for much of the
winter, as they were finalists for Ben Zobrist’s services and also had
discussions with the Reds about a Brandon Phillips trade.
Murphy, who turns 31 on April 1, hit .281/.322/.449 with a career-best 14
homers over 538 plate appearances in 2015. A 13th-round pick for the Mets in
the 2006 draft, Murphy developed into a very solid big leaguer who has posted
12.2 fWAR/9.6 bWAR over the last five years. Mets fans will forever remember
Murphy’s contributions in the 2015 postseason, as he posted a whopping 1.462
OPS and seven home runs over 39 PA in the NLDS and NLCS, a performance that
earned him the NLCS MVP Award. Murphy became the first player in baseball
history to homer in six consecutive postseason games.
In Murphy, the Nationals add a player who provides good pop for a middle
infielder and also a versatile defender who play third, first and left as
well as the keystone. In fact, according to metrics like UZR/150 and
Defensive Runs Saved, second base is actually Murphy’s worst defensive
position. Since Anthony Rendon can also play both second and third, it’s
possibly the Nats could use Murphy at the hot corner.
Regardless of who plays second, the signing ensures that Danny Espinosa will
take over at shortstop until top prospect Trea Turner is ready for the big
leagues. Murphy could also spell Ryan Zimmerman at first base against the
occasional right-handed starter. In any case, Murphy’s multi-positional
ability gives manager Dusty Baker a lot of flexibility in arranging lineups
and late-game situations. Beyond just defense, Murphy also adds a
much-needed left-handed bat to Washington’s lineup — Murphy and Bryce
Harper are currently the only left-handed hitters projected to play everyday
roles for the Nationals.
Since Murphy rejected a qualifying offer from the Mets, New York will receive
a compensation pick between the first and second rounds of the 2016 draft.
The Nationals, in turn, will have to surrender their first-round pick (17th
overall) the draft. It may end up being a relatively minor draft hit for
Washington, however — with two QO free agents of their own, the Nats already
received a compensation round pick back when Jordan Zimmermann signed with
the Tigers and they could receive another if Ian Desmond signs elsewhere.
