amazing how the omission of one name just makes the lineup look so drastically different

Here’s hoping for the best, but that looks like a lineup that is going to struggle against any decent pitching.

Since he’s probably the full-time CF now, but the fact is he’s been pretty damn mediocre this year.

I've gone from loving Marlon Byrd to hating him, to loving him again and now back to hating him

He’s fun to love when he’s on a hot streak, but when he’s not… you’re reminded of how mediocre he is.

Eh, he's above average, to me anyway

Look at some of the OF across the league that teams are running out there. Rajai Davis in OAK comes to mind.

Byrd still plays great D and makes smart decisions (for the most part) even during his aggravating cold times at the plate. That’s more than many teams can say.

His D has kinda sucked this year too though.

That’s been one of the frustrating things about him so far – his hitting has been timely, and he’s done just enough of it to appear to be doing okay, but his OBP sucks and his trademark defensive game hasn’t really been there at all.
