DARIC BARTON RUMORS & GOSSIP

Barton won't be at full strength by start of camp

Daric Barton will have to outplay three other candidates this spring in order to regain first-base duties in Oakland. And for a few weeks, he'll have to do it while still rehabbing his surgically-repaired right shoulder.

Daric Barton Banished to Sacramento

There is good news and bad news that accompany this move. First I will give you the good news. Daric Barton is in Sacramento! Daric has struggled pretty much all year offensively and defensively. The A’s could not get any kind of decent play from him. He deserved to be sent down more than Kevin Kouzmanoff but at least now the two of them can try to work on their game together...

Daric Barton is Killing the A’s

After watching Daric Barton ground into a run scoring double play last night I couldn’t help but shake my head in disgust. Daric Barton is having a terrible year yet seems to play almost everyday. Barton got off to a slow start last year but ended up really turning it around. I assumed going into this season that he would continue where he left off last year. Then when he...

Daric Barton’s Struggles May Cost Him His Job

It was only a few weeks ago that the Oakland A’s were looking to lock up Daric Barton to a long term contract. Now it seems he might have lost his job as the A’s everyday first baseman. Conor Jackson has stepped up his game nicely so far this season and has made a case to play everyday for the Oakland A’s. So that leaves Geren the decision to play him in the outfield...

Can the A’s do Better than Daric Barton at First?

Obviously the answer is yes. But the reality is no. Yes there are better first basemen in the Majors but none the A’s can afford. Sure if the A’s went and got Ablert Pujols they would be much better at that position. But let’s face the facts the A’s aren’t going after Pujols. As far as first basemen the A’s can afford Barton is the cream of the...

Daric Barton candidate for contract extension

According to a source close to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle, there is a strong possibility that A's first baseman Daric Barton may be extended very soon with the potential deal going through 2014 season. The A's are lining up to keep their young team together for a long time.  Yesterday it was reported that Oakland was interested in giving Trevor Cahill...

Fantasy Baseball Sleeper Daric Barton

I need to start off this sleeper with a bit of a disclaimer, or caveat, if you will. Unlike other fantasy baseball sleeper players I’ve written about like Freddie Freeman and Sean Rodriguez, who are young players fresh off the farm looking for their breakout season, Barton has for the most part established himself as a useful player in the league, but managed to do so in extreme...

A’s Review: Daric Barton

Okay, I’ll be the first to admit that I had my doubts about 1B Daric Barton prior to the start of this season. Barton, 25, proved me wrong, however. I’m glad he did. Heading into spring training, many thought that the A’s had lost hope in Daric Barton, as they had long-time 3B Eric Chavez shift over to first. Chavez, coming off yet another surgery, was supposed...

Daric Barton: Is this the year?

For several years now, A’s fans have been anticipating the year where Daric Barton finally has a breakout season. Well, by the looks of it, this year may finally be the year that Barton has a productive season for Oakland. Through the season’s first 24 games, Barton leads the A’s in OBP (.453) and is [...]
