Murphy Recovered and Back to the Marlins?

A dislocated wrist cost Donnie Murphy the final month of last season. It may not, however, prevent the 27-year-old infielder from breaking camp with the Florida Marlins when Spring Training ends. "The Opening Day roster definitely is something on my mind," said Murphy, who said he is ahead of schedule in his recovery. "It's something I'm shooting for right now. It kept me optimistic throughout the offseason. "It made me work harder, because I want to get back on the roster. I want to help this team out. I felt I did a lot of good things for this team last year. I love the guys on this team. I definitely want to be here." If healthy, Murphy clearly could make an impact. He also could factor into the mix for the Marlins' third-base job, which will be up for grabs when Spring Training begins on February 18th.
Donnie Murphy is one of my favorite Marlins players, and I hope to see him in the starting lineup next season. Hopefully his recovery will continue to be successful and quick so he can start Spring Training with the fish when the time comes.
