Adam Eaton profiled as perhaps the perfect acquisition for the St. Louis Cardinals. He was the 11th-best position player in the major leagues last season based on FanGraphs' WAR. He is one of the best defensive outfielders in the game and is playing under a contract that over the next five seasons figures to pay him $38.5 million. That's roughly half of what one team, the Colorado Rockies, committed Wednesday to Ian Desmond, who didn't fare nearly as well in most metrics. And at 28, Eaton is three years younger than Desmond.
