MARLON BYRD!!! Marlon Byrd? OK, Marlon Byrd!
Bucs pulled off a true trade deadline deal moments ago. Marlon Byrd who is having a decent but flawed year with the Mets (.848 OPS, 21 homers, 124 K's, 25 walks, 2 out of 6 on stolen bases) along with John Buck who has become a low obp (.215 ba), high slg (15 homers) backup catcher. Byrd's mixed bag immediately makes him the second highest OPS hitter on the roster, so while he should be no great shakes on a good team, he has a big impact on this lineup.
I like it!
What did we give up? Dilson Herrera and a player to be named later who I would love to name Garrett Jones. Herrera looks like he'll at least be a major leaguer but he's only 19 at this point and there is a lot to wait and see for him.
We also got some money. Huzzah! I'm going to both Wednesday and Thursday games this week and considering we just dropped a half game behind the Redturds, seems like it will be an exciting week!
