Mets looking good in AFL debut

Last night was the season opener for the Arizona Fall league, four of the five Mets assigned to the league played and all had good nights.

The Mets play for the Peoria Saguaros ( pronounced "sah-wah-roh" which is a large cactus) who won their season opener by the score of 9-3.

Dan Murphy played second base and hit second in the order, Murph went 2-4 with a run scored and a sac fly RBI while striking out twice.

Shawn Bowman who was a rising star at one point but had his career stalled due to significant injuries is back on track. Bowman played third base and went 2-3 with a walk and a run scored.

Jason Vargas missed the entire season after hip surgery, in returning to action last night he pitched a scoreless inning allowing three hits.

Tobi Stoner earned the win going two innings in which he allowed a run on three hits and a walk while striking out two.

Eddie Kunz pitched the ninth and while it wasn't a save opportunity he held the opposition scoreless and struck out two while giving up a hit and a walk.
