Fourth Outfielder Candidates: Eric Byrnes

Written on December 31st, 2008 by Shawn Medeiros389511 Commentshttp://firebrandal.com/2008/12/31/fourth-outfielder-candidates-eric-byrnes.htmlFourth+Outfielder+Candidates%3A+Eric+Byrnes2008-12-31+15%3A53%3A49Shawn+Medeiros

Concluding our series on the fourth outfielder today is Eric Byrnes, the erstwhile outfielder for the Arizona Diamondbacks. Unlike the first two candidates, Byrnes is not a free agent, but Arizona has given indications he would be available for a team willing to take his contract. Let’s take a look at Byrnes as a fourth outfielder candidate. First off, why would an up and rising team like Arizona want to unload a 32 year old outfielder who can play all three positions and just two years ago finished 11th in MVP voting? Clearly, it’s because the Diamondbacks are run by the United States Congress.
