December 10, 201312 yr QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 03:54 PM) Maybe Hahn knows something we don't about Eaton, because we sure paid a hell of a price for him IMO. Cash considerations tell me that because we are trading two entry level salaries, it is either a nominal amount, or a player that might get picked in the Rule 5 draft. Anything over a million dollars has to be approved by MLB, and that has never been indicated to be happening.
December 10, 201312 yr Hahn: It costs something to get something. It was too good of an opportunity to pass up.
December 10, 201312 yr QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 01:57 PM) And for those of you saying that he's immediately part of the Sale/Garcia/Quintana/Me core... Oh, but I disagree Mr. Abreu. I disagree. Your English is fantastic, by the way!
December 10, 201312 yr QUOTE (Knuckles @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 05:03 PM) Hahn just called Eaton a "dirtbag ball player" He's so grindy but talented grindy. I will take him under my wing to make him the grindiest of the grindy. Edited December 10, 201312 yr by Rowand44
December 10, 201312 yr Bob Nightengale @BNightengale now The original trade talks involved when the #Dbacks tried to get Chris Sale from #Whitesox Scott Merkin @scottmerkin now Eaton was near the top of White Sox off season target list Daryl Van Schouwen @CST_soxvan 13s Hahn: Eaton our CF for next several years. De Aza now a corner OF but he and Viciedo potential trade bait.

December 10, 201312 yr Jayson Stark @jaysonst 30s Kevin Towers said 3-way deal started w Dbacks & White Sox talking about Eaton. If Sox had been dealing Sale wouldn't have needed 3rd team Dan Hayes @DanHayesCSN 35s Kevin Towers said he hoped to get Hahn to discuss "Mr. Sale" but couldn't get #WhiteSox GM to budge.

I dont understand where this thing comes from (yet we hear it in this thread nonstop) Eaton thrashing the minors and not having many opportunities yet in the majors-- it's all clearly stuff that is public knowledge, available to you.
December 10, 201312 yr Eno Sarris @enosarris 9m "Eaton is our center fielder and we will continue to take calls -- as we have been -- on DeAza and Viciedo" - Rick Hahn
December 10, 201312 yr Jason Parks @ProfessorParks now I really like the Adam Eaton move. I've said before that Eaton will be a better major league player than he was a minor league prospect.

If the Sox had been dealing Sale, the Dbacks wouldn't have been able to afford a 3rd team.
December 10, 201312 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 02:15 PM) Eaton will be a better major league player than he was a minor league prospect. Wow. Talk about an endorsement!
December 10, 201312 yr I promise you all that he will be an All Star. I promise you. Book it. Someone remember I said this.
December 10, 201312 yr Hahn says when talking to scouts name that comes up the most: Lenny Dykstra EDIT: Fixed! Edited December 10, 201312 yr by Knuckles
December 10, 201312 yr QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 04:16 PM) If the Sox had been dealing Sale, the Dbacks wouldn't have been able to afford a 3rd team. A Sale to Eaton swap will drive this board nuts.
December 10, 201312 yr QUOTE (bulokis @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 04:22 PM) A Sale to Eaton swap will drive this board nuts. So they had been talking Sale... I bet Towers offered Sale for Bradley and Eaton and then Hahn asked for Goldschmidt, Bradley, Eaton, and Davidson...
December 10, 201312 yr QUOTE (bulokis @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 04:22 PM) A Sale to Eaton swap will drive this board nuts. My point was that if it had been Sale, it would have been a whole lot more than Eaton. So much that the Dbacks wouldn't be able to pay for anything else like Trumbo.
December 10, 201312 yr hector santiago @HecSantiago53 2m White sox fans are great fans and friends !! I going to SOCAL NOW BUT.
