Rest-of-Season Projections
Barton has a legitimate chance of earning a roster spot with the Blue Jays out of camp, Sportsnet.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
A good defender at first base, Barton's presence on the roster would potentially lead to more time at DH for Edwin Encarnacion. This spring, Barton is competing for a roster spot with Justin Smoak and perhaps to a lesser extent Danny Valencia, but the right-handed hitting Valencia is viewed as a likely platoon option for the Jays against left-handed starters.

Barton rose from the dead in 2013 to post a .269 batting average and .350 OBP in a short 37-game stint in Oakland. After his failures with the A's in 2011 (.212 batting average) and 2012 (.204 batting average), it was assumed he was done in Oakland, even after leading the American League in walks in 2010. Barton provides high-level defense at first base, which makes up a bit for his lack of pop at a corner-infield position. However, the A's have another left-hander (Brandon Moss) at first base, so it's hard to see Barton making much of an impact in 2014. Even if he does get at-bats, he will not provide much production for fantasy owners.
