Damn. Was hoping the Sox would get more.

 

ESPECIALLY if we're sending a PTBNL.

 

And where does De Aza go?

From what I've read, the Sox are only giving up Santiago and that's it. LAA is sending two players to AZ along with Trumbo.

They already had Adam Dunn in 2008 for about 3 weeks after the non-waiver deadline passed, meaning he cleared waivers. I doubt they wanted him back.

 

I dont get this deal at all for AZ. That's a lot to give up for a one-dimmensional player.

 

It just goes to show that there is a real premium on power in the post-PED's era. Players like Trumbo and Dunn still have a lot of value because they still hit a tremendous amount of HR's.

So what's the consensus here, is this Eaton guy going to be a butcher in the field? Speed and arm strength apparently right? Is he inept out there? I don't want some bumblebee out there bumbling around in the field, not for Santiago anyway.

 

 

His defense reminds me of Rowand.

 

Actually, his game reminds me of a lefty Rowand. A little more speed and a little less power, with better contact skills.

 

I actually really like this. No way at this time last year could the Sox have made this trade. That's the fickle nature of the prospect world.

Nathaniel Stoltz, who does a great job covering the minor leagues, said this:

Still think he has value, but he projects as a 4OF at this point RT @SpaldingBalls not really a prospect anymore, but thoughts on Adam Eaton

Great trade!
