So, looks like blackwood is having a great AFL run. Hopefully we see him by ’19. Neuse is just being Neuse, but Murphy’s adjustment since end of season is having great impact for him.if he can turn into a C that BB’s more than k out and hits over .300 that plays defense like him and that’s a potential buster Posey type guy
