What is not to love about Marlon Byrd? He is one of twenty-one hitters who have 49 homeruns over the past two seasons, and is on pace this year to hit over 20 bombs again. He has been on the DL since June 2nd and just came off this past Friday. I understand the batting average is something to be concerned with, but even if that's your issue, he is still a donkey (the flying donkey to be exact), and donkeys are useful... and they are really darn useful in fantasy baseball. You rent them like a lady-friend on a trip to Vegas, and if they bring you some winnings, you keep them around a few days to give you a place to rest your hand. Now, like our friends in Vegas, you never keep them around any longer than your trip. Byrd could be a creep-to-own, so be prepared to hold if he comes out of the gate hot. But enough about Byrd, I'll cover him below. It's Fathers Day today, and being that my dad introduced me to the Yardbirds, I wouldn't be me if I didn't add some title-related links into the fold, as I know you enjoy it and I think it irks Jay.
