Whatever batting spot Barry is put in, there will be no one behind him to protect him in the batting order. The Giants are a weak hitting team as it is and with Barry already 40+ years old, this move would not benefit the team. No matter what happens, Barry will do his job, but the rest of the team will not hold up their end of the deal. If I were F. Alou, I would put Barry in the 3 spot and have M. Alou after him batting cleanup to try to have Barry see the most good pitches as possible and offer the most protection.
