I’d rather have Felipe Lopez obviously but getting Barfield back for nothing is ok. I hope he can hit like he did for us that one July of a few years ago. Eventually perhaps. Decent 2B insurance for cheap.

I’m still not sure the Padres aren’t after Lopez. At least if they can find a trade partner for Eckstein.

You know it was really a shame to see Barfield go a few years ago. He had a good season for the Pads in 05 I think it was when he played 153 games. I really hope Barfield gives Eck a run for his money.

The Downside to this signing, is that M. Antonelli seems to be the odd man out again.

I remember when Barfield was a former star. He’s still young, maybe he will get it back.

I certainly hope so.

He’s not getting a Spring Training invite, which I think is odd, so he’s getting shuttled to AAA. Even if he performs well at AAA I don’t think he will be pushing Eckstein or Cabrera for playing time, which means a middle infielder would have to get hurt for him to be called up. Even then, Antonelli could get first crack at it.

Barf is back? He’ll be traded within a month.

No spring training invite for Josh Barfield means #Padres view him just as depth at AAA Portland. #Antonelli not an option anymore?
