If highly-touted Colorado Rockies prospect Tom Murphy is to continue developing into the organization’s catcher of the future, the brass feels he needs to continue seeing frequent playing time. Despite joining the Rockies as a September call-up in 2015, the time is not quite right for him to join the big club permenantly. Murphy was sent to minor league camp on March 21st and is expected to receive most of the playing time behind the plate at Triple-A Albuquerque.
“There’s definitely still some development that he needs to do,” Rockies general manager Jeff Bridich told BSN Denver.
