Welcome aboard, Mr. Eaton. It is nice to see that after a decade of futility, the Philadelphia Phillies have rewarded you with a three year, 24.5 million dollar contract. Let us break this contract down by the great numbes you have posted over the years.
A first-round pick by the Phillies in 1996, Eaton is 54-45 with a 4.40 ERA in seven major league seasons. So, this means that the Phillies are willing to pay almost half a million dollars for every career victory you have had. Mind numbing. Makes me want to cry. But, it gets worse. Last season(cut short due to injury number 5), Eaton was 7-4. So, that would mean Philadelphia is willing to pay you a million dollars for every win. Your best season was years ago when you went 11-5. If you magically duplicate this, then the Phillies will feel like they got a deal. Once again, I feel like I have been cheated by my sports team.
