Player Profile: John Ryan Murphy

John Ryan Murphy is a young, promising catcher who played for the New York Yankees last year. The problem is, under the personal section on his Wikipedia page, it says he grew up a fan of the Yankees' ancient rival, the Boston Red Sox. Which means that he was a fraud in the Yankee pinstripes. But luckily for Murphy, he was traded to the Minnesota Twins, who play in a state where Murphy's childhood love for the Red Sox is only a misdemeanor & not a felony...

Fraud!

My 3 MLB Predictions for 2016

1. The Seattle Mariners will get to the Playoffs for the 1st time since 2001

Why? Because I have faith in Seattle Mariners General Manager Jerry Dipoto. He's a more statistically minded individual than previous Mariners GM's Jack Zduriencik & Bill Bavasi put together.

2. Tyson Ross of the San Diego Padres will pitch the 1st no-hitter in Franchise History

Why? Because it's been long overdue, as the Padres are the only MLB team to never have a no-hitter in their franchise history & Tyson Ross is the best candidate to pull it off. Andrew Cashner will not because he gets injured every time he gets out of bed.

3. The Chicago Cubs will win the World Series

Why? Because if anyone can make the Chicago Cubs World Champions, it's their Vice President, Theo Epstein. In my opinion, if the Cubs do win it all this year, Theo Epstein will be in the VIP Suite of Baseball Immortality, because the Chicago Cubs won the World Series for the first time in 108 years under his watch.
