Losing Loretta was one of the toughest losses of a Padre for me. Loretta is having another good year in Boston, better than Barfield. Loretta beats Barfield in hits, runs, batting average, rbis, and on base percentage. But that is just this year. I don't think Barfield's grade is as good this year so far, as it will be in the future. The Padres sacrificed a little of the present for the future. Let's hope he pays off.
