Barfield Looking Forward to New Team; League
By Chad Gramling | January 14, 2007
There’s a good article over at MLB.com that talks about former Wizards second baseman, Josh Barfields optimistic look at the 2008 season with his new team after the shocking trade that sent him to the tribe (managed by Fort Wayne native, Eric Wedge). It talks about his thoughts ont he team, the division and his future with the team. It also includes some good fatherly advise from his father, former Major Leaguer Jesse Barfield:
With a good glove and a solid bat, Barfield can be another one of those cornerstones that general manager Mark Shapiro and manager Eric Wedge have tried to sprinkle into the Tribe’s 25-man roster. Barfield said his father, former Major Leaguer Jesse Barfield, told him the trade might be the best thing to happen to him . . . [h]e told his son that he was going from a pitchers’ ballpark in PETCO to a hitters’ ballpark in The Jake. How can that be a bad thing?
