Is Eaton complacent because he is getting paid $8.4 million this season? Would he play better if he were getting paid $2,500 a week? Sounds like he should step up and volunteer to make the major league minimum ($555,000) so he can reach his potential.Ask a full-grown man why he's choking back tears at the mere mention of the 1989 baseball fable Field of Dreams, and he is almost certain to cite the film's famous final scene, in which 33-year-old Kevin Costner, voice at once hopefully boyish and soggy with the emotionalism of looming middle age, says to an anachronistically clad young ballplayer, "Hey, Dad?
