Where do you think J.D. Drew falls in at on Neil's Top-10 FA failings?
|
10. Adam Eaton, Phillies (3 years, $24
million; 10-10, 6.29 ERA) – There were others who gave Adam a fight for the No.
10 spot on the list, but after looking at the numbers he was clearly the right
choice to make the cut and possibly could have pushed for a higher ranking had
he not pitched well in helping the Mets to the worst collapse in baseball
history. I still find it hard to believe that Eaton is worth $8 million a year
in today’s market, which is simply mind boggling, but that’s an argument for
another day. Adam gave the Phillies their moneys worth with a nice 6.29 ERA,
averaging 5.38 innings per start, a step up from his exact 5 in 2006. Maybe
this was an off-year for an average major league starter, but letting opponents
hit .378 off you is just hard to fathom.
The Top-10 countdown continues
