Adam Eaton from the Trumbo/Skaggs trade

[notherhalo]

Did he surprisingly pan out to be the best resulting player in that whole swap?

hes not even a FA until 2020

[wopphil]

Yeah, wonder if we could have got him and Skaggs for Trumbo, instead of Santiago.

[ukyah]

trumbo's the answer, he's found himself a home to thrive.

[Brent Maguire]

Yup. Guy is a very, very good player. With his move to RF in 2016(metrics loved him) and power spike back in 2015, he's essentially turned into a true 5 tool threat. 6 WAR season in 2016 with 14 HR, 14 SB and a 115 wRC+.

Funny how much ChiSox fans were complaining about the trade at the time 

[Angelsjunky]

The Diamondbacks got hosed on that trade. They lost Eaton and Skaggs and the two guys they got are both gone. Brandon Jacobs didn't pan out and is in the Independent leagues, and AJ Schugel is now a Pirate, having been claimed on waivers.

Luckily the Dbacks have a new GM who I think is going to turn that organization around....

[Second Base]

I think every player in that deal is pretty solid.

Trumbo - One trick pony, but that trick never gets old. HR king.

Skaggs - He's been hurt,?but when healthy he's alright. But he's still just 24 and is a former elite prospect.

Santiago - It wasn't always pretty, but the final line was typically pretty good for Santiago. Plus he got Nolasco and Meyer.

Eaton - Just a solid all around player. Not spectacular, but good.

[Hubs]

We obviously could've had him, since Eaton was swapped for Santiago before we swapped for them both but we had an OF glut at the time, which is why we dealt Trumbo in the first place and needed 2 starters back. I wonder if we could've had a minor league starter and Skaggs AND Eaton for Trumbo and someone else.

[Richard]

Think we still have yet to see the best of Skaggs. He was always the big get in that deal.

Every move the diamondbacks have made hasn't panned out in the last few years it seems

I remember when this trade went down and they had Kevin Towers on probably MLB Channel Towers approached Dipoto and said I'm interested in your power hitter how about we start with Skaggs and Eaton so if Dipoto wanted him he could of had him Dipoto hand picked Santiago telling Towers if you could get him you got a deal and he got him with Eaton

Yup..   He was gifted a fringe star, a legit leadoff caliber bat and he still managed to mess it up.

You hurt AJ Shugel's feelings
