Matt Murton

Murton might be the most talented Cub I have ever seen not get a chance. His problem is that he is not versatile at all; he can handle left field, or maybe first base, and that's really it. After we moved Soriano to left field, there was no place here for Murton. Somehow, the trade never got done.

Now, Murton is back. No doubt he can help us while Soriano is gone. He should get an extended look while Soriano is out. And if Soriano were to keep getting hutr all year, Murton might just be here and put up good numbers. If Soriano gets healthy and stays healthy, they will look to trade Murton. That would be a good thing for everyone; there has to be a team out there that can use a legit 300 hitter.
