Nationals lead off hitters (Ben Revere, Trea Turner) had a seriously crappy .303 OBP last year. No wonder why Bryce Harper has never had a 100 RBI season. Eaton's a.360 on-base average guy which, while not elite, is very good and should present Harper and the meat of the Nationals' order with a lot more scoring opportunities. Add Eaton's outstanding defense and team-friendly contract and this is an effective move that should immediately improve the team while they're in the midst of a current window of contention.
