The Twins would be several games up on Detroit if it wasn't for Alexi Casilla, Matt Tolbert and Nick Punto.
Not that there isn't a tiny bit of value in a replacement level player playing at replacement level instead of below, and maybe it's management's fault he kept playing (though their hands were kind of tied), but it's not like he posted a Mabry-like good season or anything.
This is called The Other Francoeur Award.
But the point being made -- and it may be a stretch -- is that Barden helped produced a fast start that resulted in the Cardinals drawing about 400,000 more fans than they had projected, which in turn allowed them to add payroll for critical midseason acquisitions.
That can be critical in a roto league- a fast start lets you put some categories in the book and to trade for others.
That's the Twins fault- those guys did what they always do-make many outs
