[USML Announce] Julio Pulls a Bor Boner

Nice of you to say that, but I don't think the extra ABs for Murphy will be enough to do the job for me.

This just in: 
 
Borbon's TEX roster spot in jeopardy? 
 
A report from the Dallas Morning News Saturday suggests that TEX CF Julio Borbon?s job and roster spot are officially in question thanks to some terrible CF defense this spring. While walking only twice, Borbon has otherwise had a decent spring offensively (.348 BA, 92% ct%, 4/1 SB/CS), but he has also committed five errors while apparently irritating Ranger management with his lapses and OF routes. TEX manager Ron Washington said that David Murphy (OF, TEX) would see some time in CF over the final ten days of camp, while Josh Hamilton (OF, TEX) played CF vs. SEA on Saturday. 
 
A wakeup call in the form of a trip to the minors for Borbon could have significant fantasy impact--not just for Borbon owners, but also for Hamilton owners who were hoping that he could stay healthy by avoiding CF. And Murphy owners may be getting his playing time break early this year, without an injury to another TEX OF. With PT, Murphy provides decent value across the board offensively, while Borbon's AB now appear to be in jeopardy, at least for the beginning of the season. Stayed tuned to this fluid situation. 
 
Maybe we'll have a contest after all.
