The approximate $2 million that Nunez is expected to command in his first year of salary arbitration makes him a more affordable option than anything the team is likely to find on the free-agent market. However, the Marlins also feel Nunez has promise for the role. "With Nuny being new to the job, he's trying to figure out how to best use his change-up and fastball effectively, and he's just starting to work his sliders in,'' pitching coach Mark Wiley said. "He’s capable of making the pitches. I don’t know if he’s confident in making all of them, yet." http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Leo_Nunez/553198 553198 Mon, 28 Sep 2009 12:16:02 EDT kffl.com http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Leo_Nunez/553198 Nunez blows save, takes loss News: Pinch-hitter Cory Sullivan delivered a go-ahead, two-run single in the ninth inning and the Mets beat Florida 6-5 on Friday night to hurt the Marlins' playoff hopes.
