[edit] Biographical Information
Outfielder Daniel Murphy picked up 7 hits in his first 15 Major League at-bats for the 2008 New York Mets after being called up in early August. He had spent most of the season up to that point with the AA Binghamton Mets. Murphy emerged as a prospect in 2007, his second season in professional baseball, by hitting 34 doubles and putting up a line of .285/.338/.430 with the St. Lucie Mets of the pitcher-friendly Florida State League. However, were it not for a slew of injuries among Mets outfielders in 2008, he would probably have had to wait another full year to make his big league debut.
