Adam Eaton's value on defense adding up for White Sox

CHICAGO -- There's a first-place Windy City team with a new right fielder whose premium-grade defense is generating nightly highlights. And something he said last year to a divisional rival started a bit of a ruckus.

You know who I'm talking about, of course, it's Jason ... scratch that, it's Adam Eaton. Of the first-place Chicago White Sox, not that other really good guy on that other really good team in Chicago.

Whereas some fans chucked Eaton onto the "he's a fourth outfielder!" pile after the White Sox signed Austin Jackson to play center this spring, it's been a revelation, what he's been able to do since he sidled over to right field.
