Bad Player, Bad Name

As a lifelong Cubs fan, my world is often confusing. This spring the head-scratching has reached a new level.

Almost every fan I talk to is rooting for Darwin Barney to win the 2B job. Yes, the same Darwin Barney who "slugged" .374 in 1,700 minor league plate appearances. He's also the same Darwin Barney who won't take a walk if you give him a box full of cash.

I know Blake DeWitt and Jeff Baker aren't very exciting options, but those two players are Chase Utley compared to Darwin Barney.

Plus, his freakin' name is Darwin Barney!
