I just dont see how Embree at this stage will be better than Shouse. Now Im not saying Shouse will be a key cog or anything but he still has more left in his arm. Embree's season was cut short in July because of a fractured leg... but that was a god send for Colorado. In the NL, he was compiling a 5.84 ERA through 36 games. His last full season (2008, Oakland), ERA was at 4.96
