Murphy is hitting just .174/.208/.261 through 23 at-bats to begin spring training.

Analysis:

It's not exactly an auspicious debut for Murphy in a Nationals' uniform, but he's still got time to round into form before Opening Day. Look for him to bat fifth or sixth in the order this season, potentially giving him plenty of RBI opportunities hitting behind the likes of Bryce Harper.
