Emaus, Sadler resurface

It's been almost a year or so since I've heard the name Brad Emaus and a couple of years since the name Billy Sadler popped up here in the office.

Until Thursday. I was surfing the Web, checking in on my buddies at baseballamerica.com and saw they had their annual 31st Team online. That's the team made up of prospects from each organization who don't make the publication's Top 30 prospect lists in their Prospect Handbook.

So I scrolled down and found Emaus and Sadler. For the uninformed, Emaus was a three-year starter at Tulane and a key part of the Green Wave's 2005 run to the College World Series. He signed with Toronto last summer and impressed with his power.

Sadler, meanwhile, pitched at LSU in 2003 when the Tigers reached the CWS. He was supposed to battle for a spot in San Francisco's bullpen last year, but control issues kept that from happening.

It looks as these two Louisiana college products still have bright futures and plenty to accomplish in their baseball careers.
