Summary
Brad Emaus, who was picked with Beato by the Mets in the Rule 5 draft - and recommended by the former Toronto contingent in the front office headed by J.P. Ricciardi, has a shot at the second base job. His minor league numbers fit in with the desire of Collins to have an offensive force at the spot. He is a more natural second baseman than Daniel Murphy and projects as a better power option than Luis Castillo.
"It's become an offensive position, so for me it's a big piece of the puzzle," Collins said. "Especially when you've got [Ike Davis] playing first base. He can eat up so much ground over there and it helps out so that's a part. But you've still got to be able to get out of an inning, so you've got to be able to turn that double play."See the full content of this document
