Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Matt Murton's Future?

672272_medium

via media.scout.com




Colo Springs Gazette reporting that Murton has a 21 game hitting streak going as of Sunday June 14th (including with the Rox) - doesn't sound right to me but too lazy to fact check.  Currently hitting .410 at AAA. 

Are we awaiting a Spilly/Hawpe trade to move him back up or is the club looking to sell Murton.  It would be a real head scratcher to understand why we went to the efforts to acquire him if there weren't any serious plans for his future at the big league level.  Seems yet another OF who needs/deserves some big league ABs but it is understandably difficult with the current overcrowding the Rockies have.

Eat. Drink. Be Merry. But the above FanPost does not necessarily reflect the attitudes, opinions, or views of Purple Row's staff (unless, of course, it's written by the staff [and even then, it still might not]).

Murton is the man. If only we could start 4 outfielders...

The Rockies need some oldschool purple/white striped high socks. The team’s problem is it’s lack of swagger. I feel strongly that these socks will provide the swagger necessary to tap the potential that are the Rockies.

If we could start 4 OFs

I’d start Dex, Hawpe, CarGo and Smith.

Maybe we could start 4 OF’s if we call up Greg Smith

5 OF's then?
