Player Profile: Derek Barrows

I have one card of Derek Barrows, from 2003 Pepsi Grandstand Salem-Keizer. This is a personally-autographed card received in a recent trade with Prowling Cat.

Playing career: Derek Barrows was a third baseman in the Giants organization in 2003 and 2004. In 95 games he hit .213 with 3 HR and 16 RBI. In independent ball he converted to a pitcher and later pitched in eight games for the Orioles’ rookie-league team in 2007.

Where he is now: Regional Client Relations Director at Epic Health Services.

My memories: Only know him from his card.

Google Autocomplete results: He is fifth when you type Derek Barr, between Derek Barron, a golfer, and Derek Barry’s Bootcamp, referring to a fitness instructor. Another prominent Derek Barrows is a broadcast operations technician at Echostar.

Coming up next: The next profile will be Joe Bateman.
