Marlon Byrd in CF? Heck, Juan Rivera would be better there. I would take Reed Johnson. Though, I might not be a fair judge, due to the fact that I am a Cubs' fan.

BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

That was a very resilient offense we’ve had this year ... Everybody played a part in it. Our 1-2-3-4 hitters have been doing it all year. And once Marlon Byrd got on track and we got Hank Blalock back and got Chris going, it became a very fluid offense. All we have to do next year is clean up the deficiencies in our pitching staff.
said Ron Washington
It's a matter of making good pitches and doing things by design ... If he goes up out of the strike zone to (Marlon) Byrd, he probably strikes him out. But he didn't do that. He left it where he could hit it. I think Rodney's combination most of the time needs to be fastball up and changeup down. He has to be able to bounce one intentionally and to put one up out of the strike zone intentionally. I'm not sure he can do that right now.
said Jim Leyland
Hamilton and Marlon Byrd are strong, but in the daytime the ball moves pretty well here ... Hamilton got the ball high, and I think the wind helped it a little bit. The one Marlon Byrd hit wouldn't have gone out in a night game, but that's the elements. It's not here nor there.

When I got that hit to left field, that guy started saying all kinds of stuff. 'Why didn't I make it to second? ... Hey, I hit the ball hard. People who know baseball know the guy (Rangers left fielder Marlon Byrd) made a nice play. I had no chance to make it to second. I can deal with that.

No, not all the time, and that's really bothering me ... I believe our intensity could be a lot stronger. It might be because we're out of it and it's the end of the season. Guys are eager to go home. I'd like to see the intensity we had for the first six months of the season.

I said, 'Bill, how about you check that,' ... He said, 'Marlon, not another word.' I said, 'Bill, how about you check it?' Then he threw me out. All I asked is for him to check it.
