He might have been good to have had last year. He could have been a great 4th outfielder. Or maybe Kepler could have been the 4th outfielder while also taking some time at first. Or if he had developed with the Twins as he has with the Yankees, he might have garnered us a quality RP. But there’s the rub ... can’t have known for sure what he would’ve become if we hadn’t traded him when we did. I think having too many quality players is a good problem to have. The more better you have, especially in surplus at a position, just gives you a better chance at trading for real quality to fill holes. As someone said earlier, trading him for a good catcher was a very good move, but that’s not what we did. And we created a hole and rushed Buxton to fill it. I wish it had worked out better for us, but that’s the gamble. Many at the time felt Murphy wasn’t a good return and that we should’ve rolled with Hicks for another year. Some were upset we didn’t get a fair return. Such is life. Hindsight, and all that.
