Byrd, Rangers close to a deal (reportedly)

by Adam J. Morris on Jan 26, 2009 2:38 PM CST

T.R. Sullivan says the Rangers are close to getting a one year deal with Marlon Byrd done.

The Rangers haven't had an arbitration hearing since Doug Melvin was the g.m., and it appears that streak is going to continue.

If i recall he was mid-range B this offseason which included the pretty good 2007.
Wash recently mentioned murphy in his starting lineup, if byrd struggles and loses at bats it seems possible he could lose his B status.

He probably won’t though.

the preceding post was a great success.

A guy who brings his lunch pail to the ballpark.

It’s a shame he won’t be a Ranger when the tide finally turns.

i was watching MLBTV and they showed the dude hitting a homer i think in old 3 rivers at age 75

also had a bit on the top 9 SS’s of all time. good stuff, he was on it. also talked about arky vaughn. sometimes we forget how talented some the guys who fall through the cracks of history are.

good stuff. i think it was prime 9. not sure.
