Ok friends, trivia time. How many players in baseball topped both 20 HR and 10 SB in 2009?
Answer? 22
Of those 22, how many are of the scarce middle infield variety?
Answer? 6
Of those six, how many have two homers and eight hits in their last five games in 2010?
Answer? 1 -- His name? Clint Barmes
I actually didn't look up the other members of the sextet to see how they have done in their last five, but Barmes is starting to hit, and the playing time is there with the plague of injuries in the Rockies middle infield. I know, it's Clint Barmes, and we do have to take that into account. Still, with the dearth of quality shortstops and the rash of injuries at second base, he may be worth a peek.
Cheers,
