eaton stinks it up again

The problem with Adam Eaton is that when he's bad he's truly awful and when he's good he's barely mediocre. And did I mention a tendency to come up small in big situations? Which is what he did in Monday's awful outing against the Mets, a team he owns. Which is what he did yesterday against the Diamondbacks and a toothless Randy Johnson. By the end of the 4th inning, the D'backs were up 10-2, having scored eight on a rally started by a Randy Johnson (ohmigod) double. That was after Eaton had walked the back-up catcher, who hadn't had a hit in weeks, on four pitches. Get rid of the bum.

This morning I read about a possible trade for lefty reliever Brian Fuentes, but the Rockies want Carlos Carrasco or Lou Marson in return. I wouldn't give up either for a starting pitcher, especially not for the one without a head in Toronto or the one without a heart in Seattle.
