Surprise! Eaton getting rocked

[Three Run Homer]

Eaton just gave up 2 HR and 3 ER overall in his second inning of work.

At this point, anybody who can throw 3 shutout innings is going to be a lock for the opening day rotation.

I hope this knocks him out of the competition, but I know it won't...

Anybody else want to bet Trembley says "well he threw strikes" in his postgame?

Surprise it is only ST game. If he is on the PS for a whilel this eason until Bergesen comes up it won't hurt anyting. IMO

GIVE ME SOME ASIAN PITCHERS. Do I sound desperate?

[Fairfax Bird]

Surprise, Guthrie and Francisco Liriano also got rocked. The wind is blowing out to left. I have never seen Oriole fans root harder against Orioles than Eaton and Baez. If they make the team so what? They are place holders for better things to come.

[Hank Scorpio]

3 home runs so far per Roch...

Don't expect much from Eaton. Or our starting pitching.

April might be reeeeally ugly.

[tvz1997]

Roch is reporting three HRs, not two. This should make for some happy campers on here today.

The Orioles could have got better placeholders. That's the point.

Just read it and I can't say that I'm shocked. Eaton will be the new Trachsel.

Why? Why get a better place holder for say Bergesen when he will be up in a month or two?

Who? Who are you going to get who you aren't going to pay for as a placeholder. We know they paid Koji $5 million and had the best offer out on Looper. Then there were how many injuries this spring? We know we aren't going to compete. The first wave of long term solutions are on the way (Bergesen, D. Hernandez). Let Eaton and Hendrickson get smashed in April, May, June by the Sox, Yanks, and Rays and bring up the kids in June.

Or you could root for Eaton and Baez to have a little success and we might actually win a few games and actually compete and then trade these guys for something ... anything. I get that Sportsguy has proclaimed that these guys have no chance of having any value, but even the Sportsguy is wrong from time to time.

[Frobby]

Can we let Eaton finish his outing before condemning him to death?

[Flosman]

Just who would they have been??? We needed good pitchers that did not require long term commitment and low cost. If they were really available everyone would have several.

I'm not too pissed about this. I don't really have a problem with Eaton being up here.
