Pitching
Murray can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Murray has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. Murray also has a decent changeup. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. He comes right after righthanded hitters, who are lucky even to reach base against him, but he works more carefully to lefties.

Defense & Hitting
Though he lacks a good pickoff move, he checks the running game with a compact stretch delivery. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Murray is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Murray has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Texas Rangers have been known to use Murray as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2010 Outlook
The Texas Rangers signed him to a long-term contract, but don't think they won't drop Murray like a hot potato if something better comes along.
