Murphy didn't deliver the sort of strong numbers some expected
Murphy didn't deliver the sort of strong numbers some expected after he hit .313 in '08, but he grew more comfortable at the plate as the season progressed, batting .282 with a .485 slugging percentage after the break. He also developed into an adequate first baseman along the way, though the Mets may elect to bring in a more traditional big bopper to play the position.
