In yet another instance of FA craziness this year, the Phillies have inked Adam Eaton to a 3 year/24 million deal (with a $9 million option for 2010). In Eaton, the Phillies have landed themselves an injury plagued 5th starter at $8 mil per. This should get consideration as one of the more absurd signings this offseason.

That makes the Eric Milton contract look like a steal.

 

Insane.

The Phillies are dumb.....

All that money for a pitcher who sucks and is not a sinkerballer. Smart move.

I don't know what happen to eaten but he was once a very promising pitcher, injuries have plagued his major league career, how sad. But atleast he got his payday, and what a way to get it within our division, YES!

I can't wait for the Zito 7 year $112 million deal to be announced.

damn. 24 million for eaton? where are the owner's getting all this money from? I want some..

8 million per year for a guy who in 7 years has never once had an ERA under 4 and has surpassed 140 innings just twice.

 

Where do I sign?

Unreal!

This may be the biggest head scratcher yet this offseason.

 

So far its between this and Randy Wolf getting 8 mill with the Dodgers

At least Wolf was a one year deal.
