Fans in the nation’s capital didn’t have much time to get acquainted with Adam Eaton last season, since he played just 23 games before he went down with a season-ending injury.
Eaton did, however, provide a glimpse of what he could bring to the lineup, posting a solid .297/.393/.462 line with seven doubles and two home runs in 107 plate appearances before a “full thickness” ACL tear, a meniscus tear and a high ankle sprain ended his first season in Washington, D.C. following the much-maligned 3-for-1 deal that sent Lucas Giolito, Reynaldo Lopez, and Dane Dunning to the Chicago White Sox and brought him to the Nats during the Winter Meetings in December of 2016.
