BA Top 10 Pros #10 Brad Emaus
10. Brad Emaus, 2b/3b Born: March, 28, 1986 B-T: R-R Ht: 5-11 Wt: 200
Drafted: Tulane, 2007 (11th round). Signed by: Matt Briggs.
Background: A Cape Cod League all-star in 2006, Emaus fell to the 11th round
of the 2007 draft after an ankle injury slowed him as a junior. He earned an
Opening Day assignment to high Class A in 2008 and went on to surprise the
Blue Jays with all facets of his game. He ranked sixth in the Florida State
League with 49 extra-base hits.
Strengths: A gap hitter with a sturdy build and a short stroke to the ball,
Emaus grinds out at-bats and already shows average hitting and power tools.
His strong knowledge of the strike zone and his willingness to use all fields
should help him refine his offensive potential. He has a strong arm.
Weaknesses: After playing mostly third base in his debut, Emaus shifted to
second base, his college position, and proved to be steady on double-play
feeds and pivots, but a bit fringy overall in terms of range. He has slightly
below-average speed, though he's a smart baserunner who stole 12 bases in
16 attempts in the FSL.
The Future: Emaus has drawn comparisons with Ty Wigginton for his build,
solid righthanded bat and ability to cover second and third base. After
the season he headed to Hawaii Winter Baseball, where he played all over
the infield, and he will advance to Double-A in 2009.
