It’s been nearly a decade since David Murphy was part of the Boston Red Sox organization, but it still feels like home.
The 34-year old outfielder was drafted by the Red Sox with the 17th pick of the first round in the 2003 draft. He would spend the next few years working his way through the farm system before making his big league debut in Boston during the 2006 season. Murphy would appear in a total of only 23 games for the Red Sox over parts of two seasons before being dealt to the Texas Rangers, where he was finally given regular playing time.
