Tue Nov 4 2014 | 18:34 | Elmore outrighted to Triple-A Louisville on Monday |
Elmore was outrighted to Triple-A Louisville on Monday. |
A quad issue, suffered late in spring training, ended up costing Elmore more than two months of the season, but he went on to post a decent .281/.376/.345 batting line with 12 steals in 16 attempts in 72 games at the Triple-A level. The Reds brought him up in September, but he played in just five games and clearly isn't a factor in their future plans. While Elmore has decent speed and is a pretty versatile defender, he has no real power to speak of and at this point, his upside as a Quad-A player seems fairly well established. |

In 47 games with the A's Triple-A Sacramento affiliate this season, Elmore has posted a .739 OPS with no homers and nine steals, so he was a logical choice to get the bump with the team acquiring several players via trade. The 27-year-old will now be subjected to waivers. |
