Eaton's numbers have been pedestrian the past 3 seasons. He is also 32 years old and a dbag. Joc seems like the clear logical choice here. I can see a Joc-Engel platoon easily putting up 4 WAR in right field. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joc seems like the clear logical choice here. I can see a Joc-Engel platoon easily putting up 4 WAR in right field. He's also not near the superstar RF he was in 2016. Maybe it was the ACL, maybe it is indeed the fairly easy RF at GRF (I don't know much about the Nationals field). But he's not BAD but he was only 2 OAA in 2019 when he played most of the year in RF. 2019: Adam Eaton : 2 Outs above average in 340 attempts in RF 2019: Joc Pederson 2 outs above average in 61 attempts in RF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there is an ocean between Eaton in RF and what we've ran out there since we traded him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joc is better than Eaton if platooned correctly. Joc should be second on our list after Springer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springfield Soxfan Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Clearly the Sox were never in on Brauer or Springer. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
