The Boston Red Sox acquire Brad Emaus from the Rockies
The Red Sox have acquired 25-year old righty swinging 2B Brad Emaus from the Rockies for either a player to be named later or cash. Emaus played in 14 games for the Mets last year and he was 6 for 37 (.162 avg, .424 OPS) with 2 runs scored and 1 RBI in his first taste of the majors. He also played in 45 games in AAA-ball last year and he was 51 of 163 (.313 avg, .954 OPS) with 37 runs scored, 9 homers, 28 RBIs and 3 stolen bases. The Red Sox will likely stash Emaus in AAA in 2012.
