I never quite got down how to pronounce his name. He'll go down in the annals with Mike Howard and Gary Matthews as opening day starters who disappeared shortly after.

Was the next Dan Uggla.

He refused to change his number in ST until he made the team. He sucked, then had a good week, management said "there's our guy!", he changed his number, and reverted to sucking.

First blot on the credibility of J.P. Riccardi. Hopefully the second one will be a long time in coming.

Showed some range during home-opening weekend, IIRC, with a couple of nice diving/scooting plays.

Couldn't hit and didn't have much with the glove either.

Losta Ks and lotsa bobbles at 2B. He made me yearn for Justin Turner...and I'm not a fan of Justin Turner.

He looked like Chipper Jones..but without the talent.

Assumed he'd be Don Bosch, thought maybe he could be Tim Teufel. Now he's just gone.

Hard to call a two-week trial of a Rule 5 guy to be a "blot". We needed a 2Bman (or at least badly wanted a replacement for the unpopular incumbent) and he was worth a shot. On-line discussions of the Rule 5 labeled Emaus as one of the better bets to stick. That he didn't is disappointing but hardly tragic. The majority of these guys never stick and fewer still emerge as stars.

He was in the Opening Day lineup. I thought that was a big honor for a small bat.

I agree. But I think the greater public sees it as a "blot." Maybe I'm wrong about that.

Well, we offered him that six year, $100 million contract. That's going to be a tough one to eat.

The public not too hung up on J.P. Ricciardi one way or the other at this juncture.

Emaus must have impressed the Rockies during the Rockies visit to CitiField--they traded for him today.

Tulowitzki noticed his sad eyes on all those trips he made past second and felt bad for him.

The Rockies traded a AA reliever who'll soon be 28 to get a guy who was a starting major leaguer last week. I'm sure we could have found a similar spare part to maintain the rights to Emaus.
