ANALYSIS: The knock on Adam Eaton used to be his lack of power. Eaton has since put that to bed by adding some slugging to his speedy repertoire. On the season he has 83 runs (tied for 14th in the league), eight triples, a .276 batting average, a .773 OPS, 12 HR, and 13 SB. In just his last 46 AB he has accumulated ten runs, two home runs, one stolen bases, a .391 batting average, and a 1.029 OPS. In 189 AB in the season's second half, Eaton has a .328 batting average, a .908 OPS, six home runs, and eight stolen bases.

If you need to accumulate runs for your team, Adam Eaton is one of the top 14 players in MLB to own. Now that he has added some HR power to his triple hitting, base stealing speed; there are no more draw backs to having Adam Eaton on your roster. If you are a fantasy baseball manager, ride the second half hot hand and foot through the playoffs.
