Opening the season on the DL

[Frayed Knot]

-- Daniel Murphy is not yet completely healed from off-season knee surgery and so will start the season on the DL. He has yet to play in ST

-- other former NYM 2B-turned superstar Justin Turner was HBP'd the other day resulting in a broken wrist.

-- and just today, Madison Bumgarner took a liner off his LEFT hand and it is fractured. Story still developing but this sounds like a long one.
Giants made all those changes over the winter (McCutcheon, Longoria) and now have this thrown in their face. They'll also start the year without RHP Jeff Samardzjia. Best laid plans ...
He of course was scheduled for OD, against the Dodgers and Kershaw (against whom MadBum has 4 hits and 2 career HRs in 20 ABs). Kershaw, btw, has yet to allow an ER this spring

The report I saw on Bumgarner said six to eight weeks.
