I don't think you'll find many that think Reyes is not a good player. The problem is, he will cost a lot of money and plays a position where we don't have a huge hole to fill. Prince Fielder will cost a lot of money and fill a huge hole. Priorities, man. His injury history has to be on that list too. Probably at the top of the list, even. Yeah, I honestly don't know which scares me more between Fielder's weight and Reyes's legs.

Byrd was almost exactly the same player this year as he was last year. Kind of crappy. His last good season was 2008, and his OBP, which is extremely influenced by his BABIP dropped .022 points -- probably somewhat related to getting hit in the face and his age. I suppose at $6.5M he's not a drag on the payroll for his performance, but I really think that money could be spent better elsewhere. The average MLB CF hit .261/.326/.410 last year. Had Byrd's BABIP been at his career average, that OBP and Slugging would have been almost exactly on the mark. He's ever so slightly above average defensively and on the basepaths and when his face isn't getting exploded, he stays pretty healthy. Byrd isn't kind of crappy. He's pretty much the definition of average ballplayer. And $6.5 million for that is actually a good deal lower than market value. I'll agree if you say it wasn't fun to watch him this year. He hacks way too much to have any business batting 3rd and when he did come back from his injury he looked awful. But if we just slide him over to RF to make way for Jackson, bat him 6th or 7th all season, we should be perfectly happy.
