I wouldnt mess with Murray, because of his relationship with BP, I thought I heard somethin happened between them in Cleveland, I may be wrong

Girardi and Murray ? Oh yeah I can see them both pining away to be part of the Red's franchise :KoolAid:. Not trying to be overly negative but I have to believe they may get better offers.

Would Eddie Murray help our hitting or is Jacoby alright?

Murray would be good. But you have to wonder why he's been let go in the middle of the season by a few teams now. Especially teams that were doing "decent" at the time he was let go.

I'd just be great to have Chambliss back...Jacoby hasn't really done nothing for me with this team.

Only Griffey is really hitting better than the last few years...and you can't really put that on anyone but Griff getting back into his groove along with natural talent.

Performing worse this year than past few years under Chambliss:
Freel
Ross
EE

About same:
Hatt
Conine
Dunn
Phillps (hard call on Brandon)

How is Dunn performing the same?

How is Dunn performing the same?

2006
OPS 855 OBP 365 SLG 490

2007
OPS 863 OBP 348 SLG 515

So Dunn is a tad better in 2007, but not appreciably any different. On base a bit less, slugging a bit better...appears to be a net wash thus far.

:rolleyes: Word from LA is that several players complained to GM Ned Coletti regarding Murray's lack of communication skills.
