Age: 22 B-T:L-L Ht.:6-3 Wt.:195
Drafted:Baylor, 2003(1st round)
Signed by:Jim Robinson
Background:
For the second time in thre year, Baylor produce Boston's top draft pick.
Murphy's stock began to rise in the Cape Cod League during the summer of
2002 and didn't stop until he went 17th overall last June/
Strength:
The Red Sox adore Murphy's approach at the plate, exemplified by his first
two pro at bats. He took the first eight pitches he saw, drawing a walk
and working a 3-0 count before lacing an opposite-field double on his first
swing. He may be able to stick in center field after Chad Durbin (Boston's
10 round pick) kept him in right at Baylor. Murphy's arm and speed are
solid average.
Weakness:
While Murphy has raw power, he'll need to add strength and more loft to
his swing in order to tap into it. He's still learning to play center field
and lacks the speed uaually associated with the position, though his
instincts and athleticism work in his favor.
The future:
Murphy will return to high Class A after scuffling there in 2003. Ideally,
he'd be ready for Boston when Johnny Damon's contract ends after the 2005
season.
