How will Nationals’ Adam Eaton handle first season in D.C.? Will he follow Daniel Murphy’s example?

You really can’t ask for a better first season with a new team than Daniel Murphy’s first with the Washington Nationals.

Coming off a postseason run with New York in his seventh season with the Mets, Murphy had an another-level breakout in D.C. in 2016.

Murphy put up a .347/.390/.595 line, 47 doubles and 25 home runs over 142 games and 582 plate appearances, finishing the season at a career high 156 wRC+ and career-best 5.
