Paul Byrd  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Byrd, and that's saying a lot. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
His pickoff move is only fair. Byrd is nothing special in the field. Byrd is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Byrd has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Byrd as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2010 Outlook
But if you ask me, I'll pass on Byrd.
