[QUOTE="FBallFan123, post: 2665835, member: 35697"] Yeah, I think he should give baseball a real shot. The baseball scouting opinion seems to be, if he can hit, he has a very high ceiling in the sport. He has elite baseball speed and some power in his bat...that's a very intriguing combination for a centerfielder, one of the premium up-the-middle defensive positions. Whether he can hit is a bit of a question, there's been limited scouting on him against elite competition, especially swinging a wood bat. He's also never really dedicated himself fully and completely to just baseball. There's reasons there for doubt, but also reasons to think he can improve if he only plays baseball. There are risks...a lot of MLB prospects never make it to the majors. But on the other hand, MLB careers generally last longer and take less of a toll on an athlete's body...so if he can make it to the MLB level, he could well earn more money over the course of a career in MLB. Murray would be an undersized NFL QB....there are questions about how long can he last at the position, even with blazing speed. But say he stalls out in the next 3-4 years in the minor leagues, would he have a chance to do what Drew Henson did and try the NFL? Seems like he would have a better chance of doing that, going from minor league baseball to the NFL, than spending 3-4 years in the NFL and trying the reverse, delaying his baseball development for that long of a period of time and also absorbing the punishment on his body the NFL tends to dish out.
