OT: Phillies Sign Adam Eaton

No link yet, but just reported on ESPNEWS, reportedly a 3 year deal worth $24 million.

Michael Kim (ESPN Anchor) followed by saying: "Well the Phillies really need pitchers and every pitcher they get is a pitcher the Mets don't get"

Not such a big loss here, especially at that price. This could actually help us if it means the Phils will be less likely to break the bank for a Zito type pitcher.

Not to much to worry about here, a guy that has never had a sub-4.00 ERA in his career. Glad we didn't waste $8 M a year on this guy. I would much rather have Padilla who the Phils just let go.

I think the Phills grossly overpaid for him. Of course, this will set the market for us.

I did not want the Mets to sign Adam Eaton, so it dos not bother me that he did not sign with the Mets.

Eaton is a good pitcher and is a nice addition to the Phillies starting rotation, but the Phillies just have to hope he stays healthy. And three years is risky for an injury prone player.
