Shame on the A's for drafting him in the first place.
They had to have known there was a possibility Murray would test the NFL especially as a QB at a major university. Granted Murray wasn't a starting QB when the A's drafted him, but at 20 years old and a dual sport player he's not really devoting the attention needed to either sport to help him be successful.
That said, some in the baseball circle recognized Murray as a potential Heisman candidate based on his talent level. Thus far, Murray has likely gotten by on talent alone without having to commit maximum time to baseball or football.
Now Murray will have to change positions to play in the NFL as no-one is in the market for a 5'10 or '11 foot QB.
A jack of all traits, master of none.
The A's are usually very smart about their choices, but they really blew this one and may lose the pick all together as there is no compensation for Murray going to the NFL.
Personally, I don't see the kid doing anything in either sport successfully at a professional level.
