BALLER MOVE: Target ~130 Overall
ANALYSIS: Daniel Murphy continues to be a low-profile fantasy player, producing solid numbers but not receiving his due from the fantasy community. His power and speed numbers digressed last year after his breakout 2013 campaign, but he ended up improving his AVG and OBP and increased his walk rate. Furthermore, he’s a lifetime .290 hitter and his OPS has averaged .734 over the past three seasons.
He may not reach 92 runs, but he gets to bat at the top of the order, which means an 80/10/20 line is not out of reach. Sure, his potential isn’t as high as that of Kolten Wong, but he’s going to produce solid numbers across the board and won’t kill you in any category. Grab Murphy after the bigger-named second basemen go in the middle rounds.
