Hitting
Barron always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency.
Baserunning & Defense
His defense is solid but unspectacular. Red's arm leaves a little to be a desired. He has below-average speed and is stiff on the basepath. He's poor on a straight steal but has some success at reading pitchers and working a delayed steal.
2010 Outlook
The Toronto Blue Jays signed him to a long-term contract, but don't think they won't drop Barron like a hot potato if something better comes along.
