Who is going to be better this year Contreras or Eaton??

[NY Yankees Fan 2004]

Contreras!

Eaton has only played the Dogers!
One more solid outing against a different team and I will think differetnly.

Contreras, definitely. His ceiling is through the roof. He is capable of being the ACE of that staff. Remember he got off to a terrible start last year and still finished 7-2 with a 3.30 ERA and 1.15 WHIP. He may just be one of those guys who takes a while to get going. After the first month last year he had a 2.73 ERA and .98 WHIP.

Eaton looks good, but both his starts this year have been against LA.

I hope they both have a great season, (Ihave them both ) but if I had to pick who will have the better season I would go with Contreras.

I'd say Contreras. He's got great stuff, and I love pitcher's who throw splitters. Just seems like they can dominate when they're on. And get a lot of K's. But with Eaton in the Litter Box, ya never know. And he looks great so far this year.

coming into the season id would have said contreras, but because of petco park, now i say eaton...

I think what everyone forgets, nevermind, what nobody even knew (this is the Cafe, can't assume anyone knows anything), was that Qualcomm, the Padres old park, was a very good pitcher's park too. I can't see Petco being THAT much worse than Qualcomm for hitters. Besides, the OF is big and there isn't much foul ground, so batting averages for the hitters should increase.
