Of all of the potential call-ups, Tom Murphy is probably the slam dunk pick to don the purple pinstripes this month. Murphy earned his cup of coffee last year with the Rockies when he was called up during the second week of the final month of the 2015 season. In just 11 appearances with the top club, Murphy slashed .257/.333/.543 with 3 HR and 9 RBI. For a guy who hadn’t played baseball for a week before getting the call from the Rockies, those numbers are quite respectable.
Coming into 2016, there was wide speculation that Murphy might break Spring Training with the Rockies.
