Does anyone have a valid excuse to why.....

What's kind of disappointing is that Chris Valaika is hitting .302/.377/.456 in AAA. Logan Watkins is hitting .315/.402/.423 in AAA. And yet Barney is still on the roster...

Yea, its like they don't want to let him go and get nothing

I'm not even sure he's that. I get the argument you're making but even with a lot of defensive replacements you expect at least a moderate level of hitting. For example, if he hit .250 with a .310 OBP with his glove I think you can make him a useful bench player. But the way he is hitting now? I'm not sure he deserves to be on a major league team. It's also possible he just needs a change of scenery but if he's not hitting in wrigley which is typically one of the better hitting parks I'm not sure what a change of scenery will do.

I don't know.. Ryan Theriot had a career AVG of .280 and just hit .270 as a back up for the Giants and no one signed him..

Welp, 2 RBI for Barney today. I guess progress?

I wonder if they are hoping he picks it up a little so they can include him in a trade?
