What kind of bat does daric Barton use?

Hello all,

If you go to minorleaguebaseball.com and you click on the around the minors tab on the front page it shows a pic of Daric Barton swinging a bat. My question is, what kind of bat is it? It looks like it has a really thin barrell. Is this a new style bat he's sporting? I sure would like one.

Here's a pic of him with a similar bat from Spring Training of this year. Any ideas on what it is?

Rawlings from the wide band.

Looks similar to the bat he was using last night in Seattle and that was a Rawlings bat.

Now my next question is, how does one find his game used bats? I only have one, and it is from his stay in the minors. I sure would like an uncracked gamer from this season or his stay in the Majors.

He is pretty hard I know in ST he wouldnt give me a bat he had cracked. He told me he keeps all his stuff so he might have a contract with someone for his stuff. i even had Eric Chavez vouch for me that I don't sell my stuff I keep it for my private collection and he still didn't give it too me.
Where do most of you guys get your stuff. I have over 100 game used bats I have gotten almost all of them directly from the players or the bat boys.

The pictured bat is a black Rawlings from the 2003 season which he spent in Cardinals Rookie ball at Johnson City. I mount an autographed card of each payer with the bat. This card is #25 UD 2003 and shows him holding a black Rawlings. There are no uniform numbers on the knob or cupped barrel end. Rawlings knob stamping is 460 S 738 03. After he was traded to the "A's" on 12.19.04, I no longer followed him. Hope this is of some help.
