GGajewski18 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 They just signed him to an extension. Relax. He's not going anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickofypres Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Eaton's numbers have, slowly, been going up all year. A few blips down on the way up, but still: http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/...p;t=b&year= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Eaton 153/172 0.00 WAR Alexei 154/172 0.00 WAR Melky 169/172 -0.2 WAR Tyler Flowers 582 OPS, career is 660 Carlos Sanchez 472 OPS, career is 530 (yikes) Conor Gillaspie 683 OPS, career is 714 That doesn't even cover Micah or Soto. Eaton's a problem, but far from the biggest. I'd almost argue that not having a super-reliable RH reliever for the 8th inning is becoming even more of an issue, as it's forcing Robertson into extended 4 out saves.

greg775 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 He has 11 walks in 167 plate appearances. He has one stolen base. I still think his 4 RBI total is embarrassing but last time I brought that up I got mocked as lead off guys aren't supposed to knock in runs. Still ... four RBIs in 167 plate appearances to me is kind of lousy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I really do not know how many opportunities he's had. He's OK but he needs to draw some walks or his career on base percentage is going to be awful beyond belief.

I believe that's actually league average Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
