Marlins Re-Sign Donnie Murphy

By Mark Polishuk | October 18, 2010 at 5:50pm CDT

Florida has re-signed infielder Donnie Murphy, reports Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald (Twitter link). The contract is a split major league/minor league deal and Murphy will be invited to Florida's major league spring training camp.

Murphy, a fifth-round pick of the Royals in the 2002 amateur draft, has a career .659 OPS in 411 plate appearances with Kansas City, Oakland and Florida.  He appeared in 29 games with the Marlins last year before undergoing wrist surgery in September.  Murphy can play third, short and second, so he'll give the Fish some infield depth if he can make the team in the spring.
