Before the game, Barton cited his good health all year as the reason for his major-league-leading walk total of 103. He has played in all but three games this season.
A's manager Bob Geren noted that Barton also has hit high in the order, ensuring a lot of plate appearances to go along with Barton's keen eye. Geren called Barton's strike-zone knowledge "as good as anyone I know."
