Yes, it can. Obviously we can't fix all of them, but to just ignore one position because we like the guy playing the position isn't rational.

Don't worry, when he moves on another gritty white guy will take his place.

I always love the "He's cheap" argument. So it's OK for a guy to inhale quickly if they don't cost much?

Being cheap never seems to work for me.

You obviously weren't cheap enough.

Yeah, let's hope he doesn't have a sophomore slump.

I don't hate Barney, I would rather we continued looking for someone else.

i want to see what Cadenas can do. Let him and barney battle it out for the 2B position. Then see what they can do.

I like Barney as a utility guy, but like others do not like his bat in the lineup every day. If he could take a decent amount of walks i would be a little more comfortable with him being a starter, but i dk if he can do it.

What have they done in the Majors?

Nothing, both have been in the minor leagues. In Torreyes case he will probably be in AA. But what has Barney done beside prove he does not deserve a full time starting position?

Ryne Sandberg thought Barney was solid; I think I will go with Ryno's take on our 2B over yours.
He hit pretty well when Castro batted first and darwin 2nd -- didn't he? Barney is not a good fantasy 2B but he does do the little things well. I'd like to see Stewart potentially moved to 2B when we get a young stud 3B producing -- but till then Barney should be given a fair chance to earn the job this year.

What is he suppose to say? What a person says in the media and what a person actually thinks are often very very different. Barney isn't a good 2B, period end of story. Unless you play Ozzie Smith(which Barney isn't remotely close) it is completely unacceptable to struggle to post a .650 OPS and have full time starting position.
