how about this guys strong start?


fluke? i have him on my roster and hes been raking but i am a little unfamiliar with the guy. any thoughts?

He was just traded in one of my CBS h2h redrafts for Sheff

If you can get Sheffield for him, do it!

But seriously, this guy could be a solid major leaguer...he hit well in the minors from what I have read. He is hitting .300 on the road this year in 30 AB (vs. .500 at home in 46 aB)...although all 4 homers have come at home and all but 2 of his 14 rbis have come at home...

Helton had some great things to say about him...

Barmes is definitely a solid player and could be a decent everyday player in the future. But ya I would rather have sheff right now obviously, Coors also might have something to do with it but I think he is hitting pretty good away from Coors. Does anyone know his home/away splits?

barmes is your 2005 nl rookie of the year...but he's hitting four hundred so you're going to have to stomach a substantial cold streak or a long stretch of poor play at some point because there's obviously no chance he hits that. lets hope he hits over .300 on the year

Trade him while he's hot if you dont absolutely need him. I did.

And there's a reason Gil is your avatar?

(full disclosure: Barmes is on my roster)

[bronxxbomber]

i'm currently platooning him. Just make sure to bench him on the road.

I'll just say this--I'm glad that I had Barmes ready to step in when Nomar stepped out of that batter's box!

"Aw, thank God! Now, let's talk rust-proofing. These Colecos'll rust up on ya' like that, er ... shut up, Gil. Close the deal ... close the deal!"

I traded him for Drew, for what its worth. Normally I'd keep him, but I couldn't turn that offer down.
