December 8, 20205 yr 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.
December 8, 20205 yr Soxtalk yesterday "lol joc pederson had a worse WAR than Nomar Mazara" Don't look at fangraphs today.
December 8, 20205 yr Gross!! But thanks for breaking it earlier in the day so I don't lose sleep again.
December 8, 20205 yr 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.
December 8, 20205 yr 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.

Only one of those still applies. he hasn't been good in years.

December 8, 20205 yr 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.
December 8, 20205 yr 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

December 8, 20205 yr 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.
December 8, 20205 yr 7 minutes ago, bmags said: awful idea. Awful, awful idea. Why? He's a great fit. 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. Edited December 8, 20205 yr by ChiSox59
December 8, 20205 yr 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?

December 8, 20205 yr 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.
December 8, 20205 yr 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.
December 8, 20205 yr Kinda scary that he's only played close to a full season once since being traded.
