As for Murph...if I had my druthers I would re-sign him, put him at 1B full-time, and trade Duda. Murph is not the power hitter Duda is (in spite of Murph's playoff performance) but he is far more consistent offensively over 162 games than Duda. And at 1B Murph has looked competent. It's clear that Murph can't play 2B anymore. If the Mets are going to continue to hinge their hopes on pitching, they need strong up the middle defense and Murph at 2B cannibalizes that idea.
I suspect the Mets won't do that, though. They're very high on Dominic Smith who scouts feel might be big league ready as soon as 2017. Duda has 2 years of arbitration left at a lower cost than what Murph will get, so I suspect they'll just ride it out with the streaky Duda to bridge the gap to Smith. Murph's best value would really be in the AL as a guy you could plug into a corner infield spot and maybe even DH.
