But at the same time, he's only played one full season. He wasn't even given a shot at consistent playing time in 2009 until late in the season. It was very frustrating to me because they would call him up, play him once every 4 days, then send him down. There's also reason to believe that he's been slightly unlucky with his BABIP in this time in the majors. In 2009, he improved his K rate and BB rate. I believe that he's turned the corner. I'm taking the OVER on Barton.Troyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07024984350363498776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7333991649672303972.post-34013393177866615502010-03-07T06:47:28.287-08:002010-03-07T06:47:28.287-08:00Too easy, Nicka.

Hindsight, "grains of salt" and all that, but this piece by John Sickels - http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/columns/story?id=1953008 - was the kind of over-the-top praise Barton was getting from all corners after the A's acquired him.Aaron C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03840720779725600492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7333991649672303972.post-21864537331662241372010-03-06T21:08:06.514-08:002010-03-06T21:08:06.514-08:00How does Barton's minor/major split compare to...How does Barton's minor/major split compare to most major leaguers?
