Message: [QUOTE="DoctahLexus, post: 3248065, member: 6798"] Grant Murphy does actually have some flashy stick skills with a longpole. Only really saw it a handful of times since he played mostly shortstick, but it is something in his arsenal. If Kennedy is bumped down he may be able to mimic some of Bomberry's pass blocking abilities, but we would still need someone to replace Bomberry's ability to body up against strong physical attack, which I don't see Kennedy being assigned to do. Also, while Kennedy goes after groundballs like a madman, he is not as skilled as Bomberry when it comes to picking the ball up and maintaining it with a longpole. I think Murphy can be that guy. Had some massive hits last year too, if you're looking to replace that aspect of Bomberry's game. [/QUOTE]
