     Bruce Bochy made the right decision.  How can you deny Barfield the starting spot with a hot spring training average of .386, in favor of Bellhorn who's hitting under the Mendoza Line?  It doesn't matter whether or not Bellhorn is the established star at the position.  If he wants the starting role back, then he has to earn it.  Kudos to Bochy!!!!  Many other managers would've bowed down to Bellhorn in that situation, regardless of performance.
