I think with spring training and a full season, Eaton will do just fine.

On the video they said Eaton is a great base stealer???

Did they ever watch him play? He may have a great career and he is lightning fast but the guy has no instincts when it comes to stealing bases.

Yep... If I recall correctly, he also has no use for a 3rd base coach either...
And, I could be wrong but I have serious doubts that he'll ever hit above .260...

Well, if Matt Williams were my 3rd base coach, I wouldn't either. I'll be surprised if he doesn't hit at least .280 this year. We'll see.

I expect Eaton will see a lot of pitches and have a solid OBP, and as a leadoff guy thats his job.

Unless they trade Owings (which would not surprise) then Didi is probably going to platoon a bit.
