Josh Barfield
Joshua LaRoy Barfield (born December 17, 1982) is an American professional baseball executive and former second baseman. He is the son of former major league outfielder Jesse Barfield. Barfield was born in Venezuela during his mother's two-week winterball visit with his father. He attended Klein High School, located near Houston, Texas, and holds the District 5 single season home run record.
His younger brother Jeremy Barfield was drafted by the Oakland Athletics in the eighth round (244th overall) of the 2008 Major League Baseball draft.
Barfield was drafted in the fourth round (120th overall) of the 2001 Major League Baseball draft by the San Diego Padres. In 2004 and 2005, Baseball America listed him as the Padres' number one prospect. In 2006, he fell to third in the organization behind pitcher Cesar Carrillo and catcher George Kottaras.
Barfield made his major league debut April 3, 2006, and collected his first career hit with a single off San Francisco Giants pitcher Jason Schmidt. His first major league home run came April 17, 2006, at Coors Field against the Colorado Rockies, a 431-foot solo shot to left-center field, off Jeff Francis.
On September 4, 2006, against the Rockies in Petco Park, Barfield hit a walk-off home run, a three-run home run off Brian Fuentes that gave the Padres a 7–5 victory. He claimed that he had not hit a walk-off home run at any level of baseball prior to that.
Barfield played in 150 games during his rookie season with the Padres, batting .280 with 32 doubles, 13 home runs, 58 RBI and 21 stolen bases (in 26 attempts). In the 2006 National League Division Series, he batted .250 with a double and walk as the Padres lost in four games to the St. Louis Cardinals.
On November 8, 2006, Barfield was traded to the Cleveland Indians for third baseman Kevin Kouzmanoff and pitcher Andrew Brown.
Barfield began the 2007 season as the Indians everyday second baseman, but in August, after poor hitting, he began to lose starts to Asdrúbal Cabrera. He finished 2007 with a .243 batting average, three home runs, and 50 RBI in 130 games. Barfield made one appearance in the 2007 postseason, stealing a base in Game 2 of the 2007 American League Championship Series.
