Dont worry, still some posters who think Eaton hasnt positively impacted outfield defense.
Or you could just say nice play by Eaton.
The Sox lost too many games in June, and are probably not going to get back in it, but if I'm Rick Hahn, I'm probably holding off on anything until everyone has played 100 games. You at least have to see if the Mariners, Orioles, and Royals play well the next couple weeks.
Look at this way--if he never played for the Sox before, would you consider him as a guy that would fit into the plan Hahn and the Sox have now? They want to acquire players that fit into the long term.
Now, would it feel good to see a headline "Sox DFA Tyler Flowers"? Yes it would. But I'd rather just play out the season, and more specifically, see what they can do over the next few weeks. Maybe they can get a catcher that fits more into the long term plan.
