Around SBN: Trent Richardson Interviews Fellow Brown Brandon Weeden

So if the D'bags dump Byrnes I can't imagine him not wanting to play in SF. Any chance he would take a cheap contract since he will be getting $11 mil from Arizona next year? If he was healthy I would prefer him over Vroom, LOLewis, or Gamer.

Sabean's checklist

1. middle aged
2. gritty gamer
3. bay area ties

I have finally accepted the fact that I will never win a McCoven award.

This move makes sense for one person, and that person is Sabean. There will be one young player in the Opening Day lineup, and it will be Pablo. DeRosa, Rowand and Byrnes will be your OF on Opening Day.

I know he’s hateable, but he could help the team as a backup outfielder. He’s still fast, still pretty good on defense, and he’s always hit lefties well. His horrible ‘08-’09 are largely the result of superlow BABIP.

That was a Sabean-esque signing

The Tigers have a bunch of closing prospects and Valverde has no other options,,, so he gets a 2 yr 14 mil deal?

It's not the best idea i've ever had

but like it or not I would be shocked if Sabes didn’t give him a call if he is released.

I have finally accepted the fact that I will never win a McCoven award.

by The Thrill on Jan 15, 2010 8:19 AM PST reply actions  

I agree that Brian will consider it if Byrnes gets released. Mostly because, “Hey! Free gritty gamer!”

The only thing standing in Sabes’ way would be the release or demotion of one of their current crappy outfielder extra parts.

by Lars The Wanderer on Jan 15, 2010 9:09 AM PST up reply actions  

Perhaps he would take a NRI, he’s getting paid no matter what. That’s really free gritty gamer, no oppurtunity cost to the roster until he proves something.

I’d like him on the team but I really can’t explain why. Is there some Byrnes vaccination I can get?
