Good point on Emaus about the home-road splits. I think I would still take those numbers over Castillo's offense and maybe over Murphy's defense.

I think Emaus is worth a look but worry a lot about his home-road splits. He may simply be a guy who can hit in a great hitter's environment (something CitiField and the majors are definitely not).
