I Could Not Be Happier For Adam Eaton Right Now
I could not be happier for Adam Eaton right now. Nobody deserves this more than him right now. Not just because his numbers to start the season have been monstrous, but because of how he battled back to get here. He came into last season with such high hopes, joining the already-loaded Nats team ready to put them over the top. And then after hitting .297 in the first 23 games of the year, he tore his ACL and missed the rest of the regular and playoffs. Just brutal.
And then after all the rehab, all the work, he has come out with his ass on fire this season, absolutely crushing the opening series, thus earning himself the aforementioned Player of the Week Award. Just a great way to get back to the big leagues and show why the Nats traded Lucas Giolito for him.

PS: The Nats will probably win 50% of the Player of the Month awards, between Eaton, Bryce, Trea, Rendon, Zimmerman, MAT, and then also Strasburg, Scherzer, and Gio too. Should be a really fun season.
