Barton was designated for assignment Saturday, and cleared waivers. The A's have assigned him to their Triple-A team in Sacremento. Barton was hitting .143/.217/.286 in 21 at-bats with the major-league club this season. After a strong 2010 season, Barton's career was derailed by a shoulder injury. He's only received 134 at-bats in the majors over the last two years.
The
Barton, 27, was hitting .143 with a homer and three RBI over 21 at-bats.
"I hit the ball good," Barton said. "And I hit a good pitch. The biggest thing for me is that I feel healthy again and can put a good swing on an inside pitch. The last couple of years I’d been trying to force it. It all feels good now. I’m looking for good pitches to hit."
