Athletics Expected To Call Up Daric Barton

The A's offense certainly appeared diminished Tuesday in a 1-0 loss to the Indians, and according to one source, the team will call up former Oakland first baseman Daric Barton from Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday. Barton plays terrific defense, allowing Brandon Moss to move to the outfield, and Barton also draws a lot of walks. He is batting .287 with three homers and 21 RBIs with Sacramento.
