I know Barney couldn't hit, but damn his D at second was awesome.
I hope the Sox pick him up, tbh.

Right, but he can be a great utility infielder.
He is great at second, and average at best (in a small sample size) at short and third.

About time.
There are multiple pitchers on the Cubs this season that I have more faith at the plate than Barney.
There are victims in a youth movement, he is the first.

I'd like to see them come up for the last few weeks of the season to get a taste. I'd like to see Bryant, Baez, and Soler. Give those guys 10 games at the end of the year and I believe we'll see some wet panties....

I think it's fitting that the Sox grab the Cubs scrubbs, myself.

What better way to suck, then p/u some Sox players....
You sound butthurt. You'll be lucky to get our scrubbs in the near future. You better get used to it.

Gee what a surprise, Darwin Barney doesn't start at second base and Bonifacio makes an error! The Cubs should have kept him as a backup for the middle infield. Nothing wrong with that. I would rather have Barney starting at second base with Arismendy Alcantara in center field and Emilio Bonifacio on the bench or platooning with other outfielders. I like Junior Lake but with him struggling they could always send him down to AAA to try and work things out. I think Nate Schierholtz is only batting .200 and he barely plays.

Didn't Barney move his average up from .200 to .230 in the last month? .230 isn't a good average but increasing your batting average by .30 is pretty good, it means he was picking it up.

So with Baez, Russell, Alcantara, and possibly even Castro in the mix for 2nd, we should hang onto Barney? You. Get. It.

Start him until those guys are ready and when those guys are ready then he can be a backup.

Alcantara isn't ready?
Also, he's making 2.3 million this year. Next year he'll be making more. That's not worth a backup who can't hit.

claiming alcantara is ready is pre mature. might as well play him and give him mlb at bats but to say he is ready is infact premature.

Agree, but there is a lot to like so far. We will see because there are so many ways his career could go from here, but I think we are allowed to be excited by the skills he has shown so far.

Baez and Russell aren't up yet and it looks like the Cubs want Alcantara in the outfield???
