ERIC BYRNES RUMORS & GOSSIP

This is incredible.  Harold Reynolds was brought on the MLB Network to discuss what he would do in a situation where you are in the bullpen and a foul ball comes your way, do you get up and move out of the fielders way?  Or do you just sit there, and hope you are in the way and the fielder doesn’t make the catch.  Apparently Eric Byrnes took it a bit too seriously, watch...

In baseball, there's seldom any contact between players. In TV shows that are designed to analyze baseball, there tends to be even less. All of those probabilities go out the window when former outfielder Eric Byrnes gets involved.

Eric Byrnes was released by the Seattle Mariners a week and a half ago after a bad series of events. To start, Byrnes was batting .094 with three hits in 32 at-bats. Matters grew worse when Byrnes pulled back on a squeeze play hanging his runner out to dry at the plate, and he compounded the mistake by taking a called third strike two days prior to his release. Byrnes had been...

“Until a week and a half ago, Eric Byrnes was a Seattle Mariner,”  writes the SF Chronicle’s John Shea of the former A’s/D-Backs d-bag OF making the transition to a Menlo Park burger joint’s slow-pitch softball team, “so some might see this as a step down.” Not if they’ve been paying attention to the Mariners, recently, John, though...

In 2007 Eric Byrnes posted some nice stats: .286/.813, 103 r, 179 h, 30 2b, 8 3b, 21 hr, 83 rbi, and 50 sb at the age of 31. Naturally the Arizona Diamondbacks locked up the outfielder to a 3 year $30M deal. Sadly that was the last year he was even remotely productive. Since then he's fell upon rough times with slash lines like .209/.641 ('08), .226/.663 ('09), and...
