Five Reasons The New York Mets Should Re-Sign Daniel Murphy
1) 2015 Postseason
Without question, how could you not sign a player who’s having the playoffs of his life?
Lets start with the home runs. He’s hit 7 home runs so far in the playoffs which is one short of the playoff record for most homers in a playoff season. Then, I also mentioned about the record for most consecutive playoff games with a homer. What’s really impressive is how Murphy was never a 20 homer guy in the regular season. Which makes this feat even more stunning.
Also, he’s homered off studs like Clayton Kershaw (three-time Cy Young Award winner), Zack Greinke (lowest ERA in baseball), Jon Lester (one of the best postseason pitchers), and Jake Arrieta (best pitcher in baseball in the second-half of this season).
Then, you add in the fact that he is hitting just below .500 in the playoffs overall. Murphy has always been a clutch hitter and he is proving right now in the biggest stages.
There’s not a lot of players who’s come up bigger in October than Murphy this year.
Other than God, sports are my biggest love. My teams are the Mets, Knicks, NY Giants, NY Rangers and St Johns basketball (St. John's alumni). I especially love the Mets like crazy, more than any other team and seeing them win the World Series would be a dream come true and definitely the best sports moment. The Knicks are a close second. I also like to write, so combine that with my passion for sports equals a perfect scenario, I would love to do sports writing long term. If not that, then probably sports broadcasting, cause I love to talk sports as well. In addition to writing for ESNY, I'm also currently writing for Metsmerizedonline.
