Eyeball Scout: Observations 2 Weeks In

So here we are, 2 weeks into the season, which is of course 5.4 weeks in because 13 games is like 35.1 games and all this math is giving the Eyeball Scout a headache. So let’s just talk about what I’ve seen so far...We’ll alternative the more positive and less positive takes...

Sean Murphy

Murphy’s batting numbers are not good so far (.174/.321/.304), but I have actually liked what I have seen. It’s important to remember, with rookies, that often there is a learning curve before they put up good numbers, and what I have seen in terms of process suggests to me that Murphy is on way to being a solid big league hitter.
