PT TOMORROW: NL West—COL adds another to the infield mix

Coming off their first NLDS appearance since 2009, the Rockies recently made a splash with the signing of Daniel Murphy (2B, COL), who by all reports figures to log most of his time at 1B while Ian Desmond (1B/OF, COL) moves to the outfield on a more regular basis.
Murphy spent much of the first half recovering from offseason knee surgery, and took a little while to find his footing—ultimately hitting .317 (.285 xBA) with 12 HR across 278 AB in the second half. The season-long HctX (84) and xPX (82) metrics were both uninspiring, but the 34-year-old is landing in about the best situation possible, and he should have the added benefit of playing the less taxing infield position this coming season.
