I don't think so. He won't walk as much as Theriot (or at least as much as Theriot used to). Also, he's not really a base stealing threat compared to Theriot (I know, I know. Theriot sucks at stealing bases).
I like to compare Barney to Jack Wilson. With the way shortstops are trending back to the old model shortstops (good defending light hitters) I could see him either traded off to a team in need or sticking around as an infield utility player for the Cubs.
