Daric Barton went 1-for-4 and is in a 7-for-59 slide. He also is 10-for-69 (.145) in May. The Oakland record for the lowest average in the month of May (minimum 75 plate appearances) is .134 by John Donaldson in 1968.

Now what do you take from these numbers if your the A's brass?

Is there anything that can explain why the drop off from his dwindling potential?

How long before we option him to triple A?????
