Mets Get 2B Brad Emaus, P Pedro Beato in Rule 5 Draft

In this morning's Rule 5 Draft, the Mets picked 2B/3B Brad Emaus & former Met draft pick, pitcher Pedro Beato. The Mets lost pitcher Elvin Ramirez to the Nats with the 6th pick in the draft. Emaus, who JP Ricciardi drafted with the Blue Jays, could play a utility role based largely on his powerful bat. Beato was a "draft & follow" pick who never signed and was subsequently drafted by (and signed by) the Orioles. I'm very happy with these picks, as we've potentially strengthened both the bench and the bullpen. I'm sure there will be more to come today...
