	<description><![CDATA[In early December, the New York Mets selected second/third baseman Brad Emaus from the Toronto Blue Jays in the Rule 5 Draft. Luckily for RisingApple.com, Brad was generous enough to take some time, and answer questions about Spring Training, what management has told him about his role, his preferences on defense, his interesting approach to the plate, his tenure at Tulane, and many other in-depth details. ]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[David Wright's much maligned 2009 campaign was unlike anything the baseball world had seen before. As David Golebiewski of Fangraphs.com surmised, "From 2005-2008, Wright was a metronome at the plate. But his '09 season was just bizarre. His punch out rate increased considerably, his power output took a dive, and his BABIP was obscenely, unsustainably high." Furthermore, the concussion that Wright sustained as a result of an up-and-in fastball that got away from Matt Cain undoubtedly had a negative impact on Wright's hitting ability. Due to this and increased pressure placed upon him by an offensively challenged Mets club in 2010, Wright's approach at the plate begot even further wackiness. ]]></description>
