In 2007, the Chicago Cubs used their 127th overall pick to draft an infielder from Oregon State University with an incredible glove and unforgettable name.
Long before Javier Baez wowed Chicago Cubs fans, there was Darwin Barney. A sensational ballplayer who helped lead his Oregon State Beavers to back-to-back NCAA baseball championships.
While he didn’t quite have the power of Baez, his speed and glove work made him a fan favorite with Cubs fans. Oddly enough, Darwin made his big league Cubs debut on August 12, 2010, against the San Francisco Giants.
