Why are the Phillies bringing Adam Eaton back from the minors?

Question

Adam Eaton is coming back up to the majors with an 0-5 record in 7 starts with a 7.02 ERA with some phillies minor league team! i was so so so so so pissed when i read this. why are they doing this? do they think he is going to have a Brett Myers come back because i don't think so.

Answer 1

Cause there paying him alot of money

Answer 2

Don't worry, he is coming back up because he's getting paid the 3rd most on the team for this year. He's coming up for relief, not to be a starter (our bullpen is solid though, so chances are, we'll only use him if we are absolutely stuck). Plus, him being a veteran, he had to accept the demotion to the Minors, so it wouldn't be cool if they sent him down and forgot about him. Myer's stats werent that good from the minors, but he's awesome now. You never know what could happen. Just have phaith :]

Answer 3

Part of the deal with him getting sent to the minors was he would be back during the September call ups and they are paying him alot of money...Don't worry though he won't pitch unless it's their last option.

Answer 4

oh no.......

Answer 5

He went 8-7 with a 3.60 ERA and 151 strikeouts in 135 innings for Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

"Eaton, we said we would bring him back on September 1st, so we're bring him back," general manager Pat Gillick said. "Happ is a left-hander who we can match him up against somebody. I don't know if he'll get into crucial games but he'll give us depth that we don't have."
