   Murphy’s bat cannot be ignored. I do not want to see Turner in the lineup again unless Murph’s played 34 games in a row and is suffering from exhaustion.

      agreed. They will get 1 LHSP in philly, so that will be the acid test.

         Understood, but how do you give more ABs to Turner considering how Murphy’s bat. No sense in ‘saving’ Murphy for a pinch hitting situation. Rather see him hit 4 times a game vs. 1.

            You don’t. Turner’s got a good minor league record, but Murph was cheated out of his AAA year and missed all of 2010.

            No matter what some say, the guy has serious offensive potential, has looked shocking good at 2B, and never stops hustling and working.

            He is the 2B of the future.

            You don’t give more ABs to Turner than Murphy, and won’t given that there are less lefties, but you’ve got Turner here, and it’s in Collins best interest to make sure he can help. Not sure he’s overly used to a bench/PH role, and obviously the best time to put him in would be against lefties.

            If you want to stick with Hu as the backup MI and just leave Murphy out there every day, then it’s time to send Turner back down and maybe get Evans here as the RH power/bench/sub guy. Or someone else. It would help if Hairston was doing better in that regard.
