Minors: Kunz and Murphy in the AFL
In a report for ESPN.com, Jason Grey takes a look back at the final week of the Arizona Fall League, recapping performances by a MLB prospects.
According to Grey, “Daniel Murphy looked like he could handle second base well enough, given his offensive ability. Whether that’s enough for the Mets remains to be seen. He has limitations, but he didn’t embarrass himself.”
Meanwhile, on the season’s final day, Eddie Kunz blew a save by giving up a pinch-hit 
grand slam to the Phillies OF Jeremy Slayden in the eighth inning.
Regarding Kunz, Grey writes:
“Comparing Kunz’s delivery to the one he displayed last season in the AFL, it appears the team has adjusted him to stand taller in his delivery, presumably to help his command, handle lefties better or both. However, it hasn’t been working well here. The raw stuff is still there, including the heavy sink on his ball, but he needs to improve his command to stick in the big leagues.”
In 10 appearances this fall, Kunz is 2–2 with a 10.93 ERA in 14 innings pitched, during which he has walked 10 batters.
