Eaton Sent Down To Minors

Adam Eaton has been optioned to the Minor Leagues.

Eaton was 4-8 with a 5.80 ERA this season for the Phillies. Yesterday he gave up three earned runs in two innings against the Braves.

The move would likely bring pitcher JA Happ back to the Phils. He was pulled early from his start yesterday. And I say thank you, and good riddance to Adam, who did nothing to show he was a Major League pitcher again this season. We held out hope for him too long, and now he’ll have to figure out if he’s good enough to be a Major League arm again.

Tim first found the Phillies as a little infant at Veteran’s Stadium, cheering on a Juan Samuel game-winning home run in his very first game. With the pinstripes in his blood, he witnessed Terry Mulholland’s 1990 no-hitter, “Steve Carlton Night” at the Vet, game three of the 1993 World Series, countless games during the charmed 2008 championship season and various road excursions. Since November 2007 Tim’s been writing about them daily at Phillies Nation, becoming one of the world’s most popular Phillies scribes. You can catch him on Twitter and Facebook, as well. When he’s not talking about the Phils he’s relaxing with a St. Bernardus ABT 12 or one of his many favored brews.
