Annouced today by Jerry Manuel, there will be no Tatis/Murphy platoon. Murphy is expected to play everyday. Personally I would rather develop Murphy rather than stick him in a platoon, and like the move by Jerry. Your Thoughts?

I like it as well. He has the patience and eye to hit lefties well.

I agree with this. Guys who are developed via platooning often have their careers stunted. Not experienced players, mind you, but ones that actually come up platooning. Look at Sean Burroughs and Hank Blalock, for example.
