The Cardinal's Brian Barden, a 28-year-old utility infielder getting his first significant playing time in the majors, is showing unexpected power in the past week. Although Barden had no homers in his first 50 major league at bats, in his past 14 at bats he has exploded for 3 homers!
Barden gave little evidence of such power potential in the minors, either, hitting just 66 in 2971 AB's, including only 9 in 456 ABs in AAA last year. Time will tell if this week has been a fluke, or the start of something big.
