What do you mean good for him? In a variety of ways. He's constantly taking to him, and Starlin seems to listen. Especially after an error. Starlin seems like the kid who could get mistakes in his head and barney talks him off the wall. Does anyone else see this or am I making it up? Their rapport on the double play still makes me stand up and get excited occasionally. ETA I originally mistyped Starlin as Stalin. Stalin Castro. You are indeed making this up. If Starlin were such a mental midget, he wouldn't have ascended through our system so quickly (or at all), wouldn't be improving his defense seemingly every day, wouldn't have hit a 3-run HR in his major league debut, etc, etc... Barney's very good defensively. Just stick to that, because that's more than pure speculation on your part. And this smacks of some Kaplan-like justification to keep the white guy so that the latin guys stay on task. No thank you.
