Because paying Bobby Bonilla $1.2 million until 2035 just wasn’t enough.

Vote Brad Emaus!

Vote EamusThe 2011 All-Star Game ballot is out. And Brad Emaus is on it.

Yes, Bradley Mark Emaus, of the .162/.262/.162  and one RBI major league slash line is on the 2011 All-Star Game ballot.

Yes, B. Emaus, of the 14 games and 42 plate appearances with the New York Mets is on the 2011 All-Star Game ballot.

Yes, Brad E., of the 81 1/3 innings and 53 chances in the field is on the 2011 All-Star Game ballot.

Vote Emaus! Because there’s nothing better than a minor-league player who has been on three teams this month alone making the All-Star Game.

Was Brad Emaus given enough time?

The Mets pulled the plug on the Brad Emaus experiment today, designating the Rule 5 draft pick for assignment. This means he’ll be offered back to the Toronto Blue Jays, then put on waivers, allowing any team to claim him.

I think the Mets may have made the move a little too quickly. What do you think?
