Sphere: Related ContentSNY.tv provides some insight from scouts and people who closely monitor minor league prospects, such as Jim Callis of Baseball America, primary editor of the soon-to-be released “Prospect Handbook” (available in mid-January through Baseball America), on some of the Mets prospects playing in the Arizona Fall League.
The Mets have four pitchers on the Scottsdale Scorpions: lefties Adam Bostick and Eddie Camacho and righties Eddie Kunz (the Mets top pick in 2007) and Carlos Muniz.
Deric McKamey, advisor to the St. Louis Cardinals and author of the soon-to-be-released, third annual “Minor League Baseball Analyst” believes Adam Bostick can be a swing-man or two-inning reliever. He sees Camacho as a LOOGY (lefty one-out guy) and Muniz as a ROOGY.
McKamey is not high on Kunz. He sees his command as an issue and places him a notch below Aaron Heilman, and projects him to be a seventh-inning guy. An American League East scout agreed with McKamey as well.
“I can’t believe Kunz was a first-round pick. I think his ceiling right now is Aaron Heilman and not many players reach their ceiling.”
Jim Callis is higher on Kunz and sees him as a potential closer.
