Is anyone else with me in getting comfortable with this duo? Baker seems to really handle lefties well. Barney seems like Theriot offensively, but can play a decent 2B. As long as he stays in the 8 spot, and the manager doesn't expect him to be more than he is, you can do worse at that spot in an NL lineup. Don't get me wrong, if someone like Kelly Johnson, Aaron Hill, or Jose Reyes became available, I'd be all about them, but at this point, Barnaker has not been a problem. They could make DeWitt expendable real soon. He's not good enough offensively to stick around as a pinch hitter, and not good enough defensively to be a utility infielder. I do think that is he was given the starting job as wed expected, hed have improved and been a serviceable 2B/8 hitter, but as long as the other 2 are perfoming, he likely won't get the chance. Of course, that could very well lead to Augie Ojeda being called upon as a backup SS, but that's life.
