I think Ohtani makes everyone look old.

I guess an Eaton/Lagares straight platoon in RF wouldn't be bad either. 

I love that plan (Eaton/Lagares)!

Great pick up, low risk/high reward.

Eaton, Quintana, and Cobb. Three excellent additions by the team...if this was in 2014. 

The three players' numbers in 2014: 

Eaton: .300/.362/.401 in 486 at-bats

Quintana: 9-11, 3.32 ERA, 1.24 WHIP in 200.1 innings pitched

Cobb: 10-9, 2.87 ERA, 1.14 WHIP in 166.1 innings pitched 

I don't ever recall the Angels adding a washed up player and he ended up being good again. Didn't work with Lincecum, Harvey, or D-Train (I never knew that he signed with the Angels to a minor league contract in 2013 until like a year ago).

Well damnit!  Someday it has to happen.  Why not this time?  LOL

if they’re washed up then they shouldn’t be signed to begin with

Hello, we're the Angels. Nice to meet you.

[AngelStew43]

I have always liked Eaton as a player.  If he can reach his career averages again, he could slot into the 9th spot in our batting order and that would make the offense a little stronger.

[eligrba4ever]

An actual reserve outfielder? Could cut down on misplayed balls?

It's a potential improvement. But the guy was released by the ChiSox, possibly because he can't really play anymore. How are the legs these days?

Warning: Obligatory "can he pitch" joke enclosed:

Is it wrong that I was hoping for this Adam Eaton instead?  I mean, this one is only 42 years old.  And only 12 years removed from having thrown a pitch in the majors.

I would like to revise and extend my remarks...

Righthanded Adam Eaton career ERA: 4.94

Lefthanded Adam Eaton career ERA: 0.00

We have our new bullpen piece!

LHP Adam Eaton >>>>> Guerra

It's funny he had great plate discipline at one point. 0 walks in 32 at bats with the Angels. Probably a result of no pitcher fearing him too
