In a trade they'd probably like to have back, the Phillies sent Eaton and two other young pitchers to the Padres last offseason for Andy Ashby. Eaton was definitely the key to the deal from San Diego's perspective, and he was ready for the majors by the end of May. He pitched well for the Padres until he ran out of gas in September. He started to put it all together in 1999, when his fastball consistently registered 93-94 mph. At times, his curveball and changeup are above-average pitches. Eaton needs to improve his secondary pitches to better combat lefthanders, who knocked him around at the big league level.
