"He just has zero range, is throwing up home-to-first times in the upper 4s, and doesn't really have power...He works the count and can have a high OBP, but he's basically Scott Hatteberg at second base."

The on-base skills are nice, bringing more talent into the organization on the cheap is obviously not a bad thing and I'm in the school that thinks second base defense a tad overrated; HOWEVER I'm still not sold on Emaus as much more than league average which certainly isn't a bad thing but I think we probably ought to table the Uggla comps.
