Welcome to the party, Adam

[DiamondDave]

Well... Adam Eaton waited clear until the end of May to finally notch his first victory of the season... Welcome to the party, pal...

Eaton is a pitcher that always intrigued me... Had the stuff to probably be a steady #2 or #3 starter for years and years... and for various reasons he never really stayed as viable as I thought.....

He started off atrocious this season.. but has finally looked as if he has turned back around into what his potential always showed... his last 3 games have actually shown him to be an effective #5 starter for the Phils... something the desperately need

He had a bad tendency to give up too many fly balls. Thats why he had alot of trouble outside Petco for a while. If he can get more Ks or GB outs he should be fine. He has all the tools to be a decent starter, he just has to work at and not repeat the near 7 ERA he had last season.


I also think that having Benson and other players kinda looking over his shoulder helped. He almost lost his job, so I think that may be driving him.
