Any thoughts?

I would Absolutely make that trade....Barton is finally getting a chance AND succeeding at the ML level and playing every day (he might, might lose some AB much later in the season to Chris Carter, but you shouldn't worry about that now)

Thanks for the advice Hook. Anyone else want to weigh in?
