Hell if Eaton even pitches another game for the Phils and happens to do well they’ll be touting him as next years opener!

So if Eaton was such a mistake, why did we call him back up?

We can pray that Eaton pitches good this last month of the season in any of the games he comes in and maybe it will be possible to trade him to a team like the Nationals or Pirates…The Phils will most likely have to agree to pay the last year of his contract though…I say just give him what he is owed and get him out of town he’s a waste of a spot on the roster.

Gavin Floyd apparently is just a guy that took a little longer than most to work the kinks out and develop in the majors. Maybe the Phils should have been a little more patient with him.

So Gavin Floyd cant pitch in Philly because here its pressure…and in Chicago its heaven….and only is it pressure for him if Chicago gets into the playoffs?…I still dont understand that.

I am sure they can trade him to someone who needs another arm or in SP when starters go down. They will buy into what we thought, good stuff, is up and down, needs a change of scenery! I mean he has some quality in his starts, they just aren’t for us anymore.

While the Garcia trade is pretty bad, at the time, it looked pretty solid. I mean Garcia pitched great down the stretch even with his velocity down. Obviously, he didn’t juice back up when he arrived due to the crack down on steriods.

Also, Floyd- glad he is doing well far away from the NL East. He was never going to make it here because he had no stomach to pitch in pressure situations. The real test will be to see if the ChiSox start him in the playoffs if they make it. I bet he does not get the call in the 5 game series of the first round. And Gonzales isn’t exactly lighting up the AL since being called up in OAK.

Try to trade him a la Wes Helms earlier this season. I doubt it will work but its worth a shot. Sure we would be paying 8 million, but we have to pay it anyway, might as well try to get him out of our organization that way.

And if that doesn’t work just cut him. Admitting his deal was a mistake was the first step. So just cut him after the season.

Wow, my fault. Like in the NFL there is a fee for cutting a guy but usually it’s not much. Still I would say cut him. Don’t give him a chance to lose more games next year. And what does Gillick really think. He won’t be around next year anyway.
