BWAHAHAHAAH

With weak 2B market, ‪#Cubs‬ would do well to see what they can get for Darwin Barney.

Something like this?

Darwin Barney is a reasonably valuable baseball player.

TIME TO POST!

No, I'm just kidding. I think they should try to trade him and I'm interested to see if EpHoystink can fleece some poor other stink for something of use.

Feeling satisfied with the results of my Support-Ryan-Dempster campaign, I'm fully committed to my lame crusade of convincing people that Darwin Barney is a reasonably valuable baseball player.

I'm not sure where he ranks this year across MLB for 2nd baseman (okay that's a lie, he's 11th), but with a career OPS of .670 and minor league track record to suggest he isn't any better than that, it seems laughable that they could actually get decent return for him.

But by all means, I sure hope they try to find out.

The Cubs were able to trade Mike Fontenot once upon a time.

Oh please, this team is so bad offensively I doubt any of them could score heroin. /Chork.

He's young(ish), plays outstanding defense and makes next-to-nothing. Those are all good things that teams should be interested in.

Personally, I think they might as well keep him. He'll probably have more value going forward as cheap utility guy who can play multiple positions than whatever fringey prospect he'd bring in a trade.

This, assuming for a moment that keeping him doesn't mean paying him $5MM a year for three years, for instance.

"outstanding" defense?

That's news to me.

And if there's one thing Huey knows, it's the News. /slidewhistle

Also, who was the originator of Epstink? I'd like to give credit to that person before I get tired of it. Although it does have Always Funny Potential (see: Chuck, Fuck You).

It was born in a text from one of Gil's buddies after the Marshall/Wood trade. "Epstink is terrible."

I don't think you want to see Chuck fuck you.

This is correct and it continues to this day.

And because of Travis Wood's performance, I have to somewhat agree with the notion that the Cubs could have gotten more for Marshall.

Unlike first basemen who have a .900 OPS, Darwin Barneys do not grow on trees.

We won't know for another year or so whether Travis Wood was a good pickup or not. If he was pitching balls out at the big club this year it wouldn't matter. If he's a serviceable lefthanded starter or reliever in 2014, Epstink will be wonderful.

I think he's going to be decent. If only we'd kept Larry Rothschild around...
