He's not on the 40-man and has all 3 option years remaining. His brief MLB experience came as a result of the Mets selecting him in the Rule 5 draft (and then quickly returning him). He can be Pawtucket's primary 2Bman, and serve as injury insurance for Boston. So why'd the Rockies give him up for nothing?

That said, we'll have to see what sort of pop he has closer to the center of the earth down there at the head of Narragansett Bay. Power concedes nothing without a demand.

He'd be somebody who wouldn't be a black hole in the lineup. I wonder if he can play a little 3b in case Youks misses some time and they don't want to rush Middlebrooks. Now if Cherington can find a reliever or a RH hitting OF in this fashion, that would be good. I think Emaus got a raw deal with the Mets who gave up on him much too soon.
