Combine a slow start for current Mets second basemen Daniel Murphy with prospect Dilson Herrera tearing the cover off the ball in Triple A, and the Mets could have quite the problem on their hands.
Daniel Murphy is not having the best start to the 2015 season. A .158/.234/.263 line with nine RBIs is not what New York Mets fans are used to seeing from their longtime second baseman.
In a seven-year career, Murphy has averaged a .287/.331/.416 batting line while trading his good offense for some rather interesting defense. This week, Mets fans were reminded of Murphy's spotty glovework when he made a questionable throw home instead of opting for a double play.
