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.

24 errors for Hak Ju Lee. Fantastic. I thought he was our defensive savior and would move Castro to 2B. Let me guess Scarey, his errors are due to a bumpy infield. And fuck yeah to Chrissy Archer.

I've heard people draw comparisons to Omar Vizquel when talking about Lee. Check out this scouting report from an MLB analyst.

http://mlb.fanhouse.com/2010/05/10/full-sc...ect-hak-ju-lee/

<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->Lee is the type of defender that already looks like a Gold Glove at shortstop. And it would be only this type of player that could displace a player like Castro at shortstop. He's that special on the defensive side of things. He has a plus arm, which allows him to complete some spectacular plays. What's most impressive is how easy he makes some of these difficult plays look.

He circles the ball in the hole to his right very well, and makes throws consistently off his back foot as if they were routine. His hands are outstanding, and the range to both sides would be among the best in the majors right now. It's high praise and risky to make such a comparison, but Lee plays the position like a stronger armed Omar Vizquel.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

I know Sandberg has made the same comparison (the Hall of Famer, not the poster).

[Ace]

I'm trying not to get overly excited about Chris Archer. But if he finishes out this season as well as he's started it, does he pass every other pitcher in the system not named Cashner? I'm thinking he probably does.

[funkster]

He's one of the kids we got in the DeRo deal isn't he?

The DeRo deal, among others, is why I don't understand why some folks have a problem with Hendry being the guy to do the selling, even if he won't be the GM next year.
