Eddie Kunz will blogging his experience in the Arizona Fall League at MLB.com, and will occasionally be joined online by Bobby Parnell, Tobi Stoner and Dan Murphy, among others.

Today, Murphy jumps on to the keyboard to discuss his time in the AFL so far, while writing the following about his recent injury:

“As of right now I am currently not in the lineup due a forearm injury that took place in the annual Rising Stars game. Hopefully I should be ready for action by the end of this week but as of now I am daily consulting with our trainer Joe Golia who has taken care of me since the injury. But I am looking forward to being back in the lineup and further hone my skills at second base and in the batters box…Everyday I am getting top of the line coaching and I feel that I am getting more consistent at second base and hope to one day be able to help the Mets at that position if they so choose.”

In 10 games in the AFL, Murphy is batting .400 with four doubles, one HR, 11 RBI and just three strike outs.
