Per RotoWorld: A trade would almost certainly involve the Diamondbacks taking another bad contract in return, and the team believes that Byrnes is a better bet for 2009 than the veterans who could be offered for him (Luis Castillo, Adam Eaton and Julio Lugo could be a few possibilities). It seems unlikely, but perhaps a team [...]

In 2007, the Phillies had double the number of DL visits, 22. That included four members of their rotation: Jon Lieber, Freddy Garcia, Adam Eaton and Cole Hamels. It included their closer (Brett Myers) and one of their top relief pitchers (Ryan Madson), plus Ryan Howard, Utley, Victorino and Werth.

... Peavy in the rotation? Two things stand out to me here: We were waiting on news of a potential Adam Eaton to Texas deal at the time. As I recall, that worked out okay for the Padres. I said something that turned out to be shockingly true (if this is overly self-congratulatory, it’s only because I get so few opportunities to say I was right about something): It sure looks to me as...

THE QUESTION to ask today is not whether Ruben Amaro Jr. can replace Pat Gillick. The question, really, is whether he will be allowed to, whether he has earned the blind trust of the Phillies ownership the way Gillick earned it three Novembers ago with his resume. Because let's face it: We all doubted Gillick along the way, especially when he gave all that money to Adam Eaton and traded...

When acquired for a bevy of prospects , Joe Blanton was far from a fan favorite . In fact he was being scrutinized before ever throwing a pitch for the Phils, being dubbed Eaton-esque . Ladies, gentlemen, and naysayers- Joe Blanton is far from being Adam Eaton, Kyle Kendrick, or even Kyle Lohse, because Joe Blanton just won his second game this postseason which just happened to...

The GOP hastily withdrew the challenge after it sparked an outcry. But now, the party's executive director has resigned , just three weeks before the election. No one's saying on the record that Adam...
