Age: 22 B-T:R-R Ht.:6-1 Wt.:226
Drafted:Georgia Tech, 2003(1st round supplemental)
Signed by:Rob English.
Background:
Murton and fellow 2003 first-rounder David Murphy teamed to win back-to-back
Cape Cod League championship with the Wareham Gateman in 2001-2002. Chad
Durbin completed the 2003 Wareham outfield. Initially projected as a
mid-first rounder, Murton lasted 32 picks in June because he slumped as a
junior at Georgia.
Strength:
Murton got pull conscious and lengthened his swing last spring, but he hits
better with wood bats because he shorten his stroke and let his power come
naturally. The Cape's 2002 home run derby winner, he has more pop than any
hitter in the system. Boston make all of his players in Class A or below
keep notebook on hitting, something Murton already did on his own. He runs
well for his size and is a four-tool player.
Weakness:
Murton's weak throwing arm relegates him to left field.His swing has more
effort than Murphy's case. If he gets much bigger or stronger, his speed
and range likely will dip below average.
The future:
Murton will reunite with Murphy once again in 2004, this time in high
Class A. If all goes as expected, they'll play together again, this time
in Boston, by mid-2006.
