Eaton will hit second behind Trea Turner in the Nationals' Grapefruit League opener Saturday against the Mets, Jamal Collier of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nats manager Dusty Baker made it clear that he hasn't decided on an Opening Day batting order, but Eaton will most likely hit first or second during the regular season. Given the speed the team will feature at the top of their order and the green lights that will come with it, Eaton could be in line for his first 20-steal season in 2017.
