After having a historic 2015 postseason for the New York Mets, Daniel Murphy became a free agent and not many teams believed he was the real deal. The Washington Nationals took a gamble on him, and boy did it pay it off. Murphy put up an MVP-caliber season, and led the Nats to the postseason.
This year, Murphy has picked up right where he left off, and is once again proving the Nationals right for believing in him and signing him. Although Murphy appears to have stone hands in the field at times, he is capable of making highlight-reel plays and makes up for any errors with his bat.
