Squirmin' for Yermin Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I love it. Seemed he and Frazier (two alpha's) just hated eachother.. Other than that, I don't remember hearing a peep. Amazing OBP guy, left handed bat, plays good D, AND WILL BE BATTING 8th!?!?! IDK what's not to like.. well he gets hurt.. So I guess there's that. I really like it.

chw42 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 With the season he had last year, this contract seems about right. Not sure I like it. Joc definitely adds more to the lineup, but Eaton is a safer bet. I'm sure TLR loves him for the clubhouse, but IDK if he fits in with the rest of the core. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 If he had never played for the Sox but put up the same numbers elsewhere, more people would like this move. I think it’s pretty good. Stop lunging for first base running down the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 3 minutes ago, YourWhatHurts said: Great deal. Love it. Smart move. Maybe the FO is finally willing to let go of a grudge (good thing) but more likely it probably means Hahn's deals are vetted by TLR (bad). I think what it means is as much as Frazier blasted Eaton, at least some who haven't been heard don't pin the entire problem on Eaton. If he was that much trouble, they wouldn't have bothered bringing him back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 You know there was a time when I really like Adam Eaton. Right up until he lost his mind because a little kid wasn't in the locker room 24/7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I will bet $50 that we do not pick up adam eaton's option next year to anyone that takes that other side. All offseason I've been like "I kinda like ALL the RF options" and that never included adam fucking eaton. Good grief. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides the fact this takes out of Springer for sure, its a good on field move. Here is to hoping Eaton has matured a bit since he left.

GreatScott82 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Strange. I guess he has a better glove than Brantley and a better bat than Joc? I still want Brantley's bat through. I wonder if that will be considered for a DH/LF platoon with Eloy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yesterday333 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Wow we seem to be making the most controversial moves possible haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beautox Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Would have preferred JBJ but this is fine as it gives time for Rutherford and Adolfo time to continue to progress as well as Colas once he is signed as he appears to be ticketed for AA for a warm up then AAA. Can always upgrade mid-season as well. Hes batting 8th ahead of Madrigal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigHurt3515 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Really spending that money! So far about 16M on needs while giving away a solid pitching prospect. I personally like Eaton the player better than Joc if he stays healthy, I just hope he has gotten better in the clubhouse and will fit in better with the players we have now. I feel like before we had some really intense guys and they didn't mesh well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFanForever Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Kinda scary that he's only played close to a full season once since being traded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my biggest issue. You're basically guaranteeing large stretches of Engel/Garcia as your starting RF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
