December 10, 201312 yr QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 02:11 PM) Who is sending the PTBNL? One from the Angels and one from the Sox.
December 10, 201312 yr Eaton was the #73 prospect at the beginning of this year. I think this is a great pickup. A CF who can play defense, is fast, and should have a good OBP
December 10, 201312 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 02:13 PM) Eaton, Avasail, Abreu... hopefully three guys that will be part of the solution. Looking forward to watching some new blood for a full season. Sox trying to build a "young core" including pitching. Getting there.
December 10, 201312 yr QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 02:11 PM) 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.
December 10, 201312 yr Jon Morsi said on MLB network that the Sox may get a minor leaguer too but wasn't sure and didn't have a name.
December 10, 201312 yr It would be sad if we are also giving up a meaningful prospect. Talk about insult to injury.
December 10, 201312 yr QUOTE (Jillian Michaels' Abs @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 02:12 PM) 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.
December 10, 201312 yr QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 01:50 PM) 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.

December 10, 201312 yr #73 - Eaton #74 - Garcia We be rakin in the 70s. Without a doubt, not KW's MO. Hanh's character starting to show.
December 10, 201312 yr Good deal for us. I like Santiago, but I wouldn't shock me if he's strictly a bullpen arm 3 years from now. Not saying he doesn't have a good chance of sticking as a solid 3/4 starter, but I think it was a smart move to trade him now while his name is hot.
December 10, 201312 yr QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 02:15 PM) So yeah, what plans for our OF now? RF Garcia CF Eaton LF De Aza DH Viciedo
December 10, 201312 yr QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 04:13 PM) The Lord giveth Mark Reynolds, the Lord taketh away Mark Reynolds. Lord reconsiderth, Lord reacquireth Mark Reynolds, moveth to OF hahaha
December 10, 201312 yr Nathaniel Stoltz, who does a great job covering the minor leagues, said this: Nathaniel Stoltz @stoltz_baseball 59m 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
December 10, 201312 yr QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 02:14 PM) Apparently we will be getting a minor league player as well No kidding? This story has changed so many times its hard to keep up.
December 10, 201312 yr QUOTE (elwood5892 @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 02:15 PM) Jon Morsi said on MLB network that the Sox may get a minor leaguer too but wasn't sure and didn't have a name. Who are the Angels who are eligible for Rule 5? That sounds like where we should be looking.

December 10, 201312 yr QUOTE (Kalapse @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 02:12 PM) The Rowand worshippers are gonna nut when they see Eaton play. Too late...
December 10, 201312 yr QUOTE (shakes @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 08:15 PM) 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. Last time we heard this was from KW taking about Simon Castro
December 10, 201312 yr One PTBN from #Angels, one from #WhiteSox to #DBacks in 3-team deal. Angels' player eligible for Rule 5 draft. White Sox's guy might be too
