chw42 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Can we be interested in David Murphy instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxSteve Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 03:48 PM) Can we be interested in David Murphy instead? I will take Loney in a heartbeat. Around 296 BA and 340 OBP against righties is great platoon player for our DH position. We don't have a good OBP team and i think it really hurts us. Sands offers nothing and we have a bunch of right handers who don't on get on base enough like Frazier, Lowrie, Jackson and Garcia. Hope it happens.

I would too, but I think Murphy is a much better fit for the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggins Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Loney has better on base ability but Murphy has better power. Neither are very good, and both will be basically free. I might take my chances with Avi for a month and go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Jack29 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 If the Sox can't find a better option at this point, I'm all for Loney. Dude will cost almost nothing and is about as low-risk as it gets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaySox Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Isn't he a great contact guy? Would he be an option for the #2 spot? He gets on base too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murphy is a good solid hitter tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDF Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 QUOTE (JoshPR @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 10:36 PM) Great defensive 1stbaseman too. Murphy is a good solid hitter tho. either murph or loney will be a good pickup, for me, i still will take loney, he can play 1b and have a great avg.

YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I'd take Loney over Sands in a heartbeat. If nothing else, he could hit in the second spot in the order and play solid defense. He has a solid OBP that would be nice behind Eaton and in front of Abreu/Frazier/Cabrera.
