Daniel Murphy is the second longest tenured Met behind only The Captain, David Wright. "Murph" is a Met through and through and plays his best during the biggest moments of the biggest games.
Murph is known throughout the league as a professional hitter -- he was statistically the hardest guy in the league to strike out this season. Murph is the only guy on the Mets that elite opposing pitchers have no answer for due to his lack of any weakness at the plate -- this is evidenced by how he has crushed all-stars Greinke, Kershaw, Lester, and Arrieta in the playoffs.
In addition to his hitting ability, Murph also plays second base, first base, third base, and the outfield on defense. While he will not get confused for a gold glover, he more than holds his own wherever he is asked to play and has been exceptional on defense all postseason.
Dilson Herrera is a terrific young player that will make a fine second baseman for the Mets in time, but Murph is the heart and soul of this team and it is imperative that the Mets not try to save money by letting him walk in free agency. They simply must re-sign him. Wright's health is a serious question mark, Duda goes on very longs slumps, Conforto is not yet a proven commodity in LF, and Herrera is extremely young. Murphy can supplement all of those positions on defense and provide a professional, contact bat on offense.
Sandy and the Wilpons, please do our fans and yourselves a huge favor and re-sign a legendary Met. Re-sign Daniel Murphy!!!!!!
Sincerely,
Long-suffering Mets fan throughout the world

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many of you feel the same way about Murph. You really are the ones driving this conversation and proving just how much he belongs in a Mets uniform.

I truly did not expect this to gather so much attention. Seeing how many people feel the same way about keeping Murph in New York is overwhelming and it is entirely because of your passion for the team.

He is more important then resigning Cespades,I've always said that he is our best clutch hitter that we've ever had He is a must
Bottom Line: Murph is this team's heart and HIS bat and grit are the reason we were able to generate enough offense to overcome the 3 front-running Cy Young candidates this post season. The Wilpons need to SIGN THIS MAN!!
Resign him he plays multiple positions and we need a reliable third baseman if Wright is hurt again. He also can play second and first. Plus he can hit.
Not just because he is crushing post season, but because he loves the sport, the team and the fans since 2008.
Move Murph to 1B...he's more of a consistent hitter than Duda,I love the Dude but he's way too streaky...LGM!!!
Let's keep the band together!
its already been said. LGM,,sign Murphy..

He brings intangibles to the team and clubhouse that cannot be duplicated with Herrera and/or Flores.
