Daric Barton (shoulder) said that he won't be able to field until mid-March.
Barton underwent surgery on his right shoulder in September to repair a partial labrum tear. Barton, 26, batted .212 over 236-bats with the A's last season. He's a solid defensive first baseman, assuming his shoulder is sound. The key to reclaiming his old role as a starter will be turning things around offensively. He was simply atrocious at the plate last year, especially for a first baseman.
