Adam Eaton's Improvement
Title Track
In 12 starts this year, Adam Eaton is 8-1 with a 3.48 ERA. His eighth win last season came in August and he posted a 4.61 ERA. His stats are most peculiar, though. He's allowing more hits per nine innings, more walks per nine innings and is striking out fewer per nine innings. He's allowing fewer home runs per nine innings, though. His stats are rather vexing. Here they are:
Any thoughts? I'm confused.
Speaking of Improved Pitching
Can you guys believe how much Peavy has improved? Here's his '04-'05 comparison, which I found particularly interesting:
Peavy is striking out more of the batters he's facing and he's also facing fewer batters. He just turned 24 this week and he's easily one of the more dominant and more efficient pitchers in the league. Oh, and he's probably going to keep getting better. I am really glad Towers locked him up.

According to Baseball Prospectus, Eaton is the luckiest pitcher in the major leagues. One thing, though, that he is doing exceptionally well, is holding down the opposition in scoring situations. For example, Eaton is allowing only a .221 BAA in RISP situations; in 2004 he gave up a .294 BAA.
He appears to be maintaining concentration and not falling prey to the big inning. Here's to more success for Adam, and an All-Star invitation!
The luckiest pitcher thing refers to his Win-Loss record, tf.
