Brad Emaus II: Electric Boogaloo

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Signed to a minor league contract and assigned to Buffalo, along with JCL Fantasy Fave Fred Lewis.

Emaus was playing independent ball. Lewis was released by the seriously, I just used a racist word when I really meant "Guardians" this spring.

Can Chinnie Hu be far behind?

Can we vote for him again for the All-Star team?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Buffalo fans may like him, anyways-- he went .313/.389/.564 with 21 XBH (9 HR!) in less than 200 PA at totally-neutral-playing-environment Colorado Springs (AAA-Colorado).

I, too, like the Lewis pickup. But then, I, too, may be former-fantasy-player biased.

Fred Lewis, one of those guys I always thought would be a Met one day .

[Guest The Second Spitter]

I hope Emaus learnt the subtle art of fielding while he was away because from what I saw during his brief stint, he's less capable at 2nd than Muffy.

Fred Lewis, straight out of Hattiesburg, MO, crossroads of American history.

as long as we have our front office, i'm sure we'll continue to sign bluejays/dodgers castoffs. (and maybe a padre here and there, if they cast anyone off that's worth looking at)

I wouldn't look at it so lamentably. Hefner is out of the Padre's system and working out pretty well for us.

We have a pretty broad range of backgrounds up there. Lewis spent a long time in the Reds system. Scales in the Cubs system. I just think it's pretty cool to still be scouting and signing wayward professionals after the season has begun.

Adam Loewen, meanstwhile, hits the AAA DL with stress fracture in his right foot.
