He puts together some nice at bats. So he'd be a valuable guy to use as a pinch hitter extraordinaire while he can also fill in for Davis, Wright, and Valdespin (assuming he IS in fact the long term 2B)...but the Mets feel it'd be a waste of his bat to only use him as a PH.

But the Mets just don't have enough offensive weapons to offset the negative that Murph provides with his glove. Probably just another reason why he'd thrive in the AL surrounded by a better lineup that could afford to give up a little defensively.
