ON DECK
coming to a ballpark near you this summer...
The youngest player in Oakland's camp for the second year in a row, 20-year-old Daric Barton has a lefthanded bat that appears to be major-league-ready. A quintessential A's player, Barton, who was moved from catcher to first base after being acquired from St. Louis in the Mark Mulder deal before last season, is a doubles-hitting machine with a career OBP of .431 in four minor league stops.
