Off Season Stuff

The first batch of items for the off season have happened. Marlon Byrd: On the first day of free-agent eligibility, Marlon Byrd filed. No surprise there, he probably deserves a decent paycheck. As we all know, there's been a lot of noise about him wanting to stay, but whether he remains is unknown. It's down to money, and the fact that there is a logjam coming behind him. Don't know how long we'd want to commit. There's just too many variables now. There's some talk that should we not bring back Byrd, they might sign Jermaine Dye as a replacement. That would have to be a single year deal. Omar Vizquel: Some talk that Vizquel might re-sign here to be a backup again in 2010. I have to say, he seriously surprised me. He never failed to produce as a backup, never complained about playing time, he was awesome. If he came back next year and produced the same way, I don't think anyone would complain about that. Plus he'd probably be cheap...
