Davey Martinez talked back on August 14th, about the addition of 26-year-old right-handed reliever Patrick Murphy, on a waiver claim from Toronto’s Blue Jays, who drafted Murphy in the third round in 2013.
“He’s a high-velo guy, good curveball, had some success in the minor leagues,” Martinez told reporters. “He’s had some control issues. So we’re going to get him down in our minor league system, he’s going to Rochester now. He’s basically a two-pitch guy, can throw a changeup on occasion, but we’ll keep close eyes on him and we’ll see if we can bring him up here fairly soon, but we want to make sure that he goes down there and gets settled in.
