Orioles, Eaton reach minor league agreement Fort Lauderdale, FL (Sports Network) - The Baltimore Orioles signed starting pitcher Adam Eaton to a minor league contract on Sunday. Eaton had a rough two-year stint in Philadelphia, going 14-18 with a 6.10 earned-run average in 51 games -- 49 starts -- for the Phillies in 2007 and 2008. The right-hander was sent to the minor leagues in mid-season of the 2008 campaign and failed to make an appearance with the big club in its stretch run to the World Series title. The Phillies released him on February 27. Over nine seasons in the majors, which has included stops with San Diego and Texas, the 31-year-old is 68-63 with a 4.80 ERA. |
