Barton came up at age 21 and dazzled people by hitting four home runs in 18 games in an end season cuppa. Then he failed totally the following season when they tried to push him into the starting lineup.

The problem is not that he has no talent as a hitter, because he clearly does. It's that he is now a first baseman with middle infielder power. The last time he slugged over .500 was when he was playing Peoria. In September last year He batted .306, got on at .402 and scored 9 runs. But it's only one month. .280-70-8-60-0. 500ABs

Positives / Upside	in CI leagues his potential for a good average an excellent runs makes him a viable option. .300-85-8-60-0. 550ABs
Negatives / Downside	Given the logjam of players and the A's switch of Eric Chvez to first this spring, it seems likely that in addition to his power problems, Barton will face playing time problems.
