Opening Day Trivia

Brad Emaus was the good get here.

I remember folks being optimistic about this Rule 5 pick, although I can't specifically remember why.

Maybe some publication said he had a good chance to stick or something like that.



He'd wind up going 6-for-37 (all singles) as a Met before being returned, in late April, to Toronto who promptly dealt him to Colorado the next day.

After a stop with Boston he wound up back in the NYM org but never played another ML game, ending his career in 2012 at age 26 with a .212/.297/.315 line @ AAA Buffalo

I put faith in the cash-strapped front office to have uncovered an undervalued gem.

Problem was that the uncovered gem infielder on that roster was Justin Turner.

Turner reinvented himself after the Mets cut ties with him. Prior to that, there was no evidence that he'd become a perennial all-star. It would've been like predicting Daniel Murphy's 2015-2018 transformation into an MVP-caliber hitter after Murph's second or third season in the majors.
