... Detroit or has been dealt somewhere else. So, let's look at two other choices -- Marlon Byrd and Mike Cameron . Marlon Byrd has played eight seasons in the major leagues with three teams (the Phillies , the Nationals and the Rangers ). He was the Phillies' regular center fielder in 2003, his rookie season; he played well enough to finish fourth in Rookie of the Year voting (behind...

One note that came through via MLB Trade Rumors is that Jermaine Dye would be open to playing first base. I think his bat could be a good fit with Atlanta if we don't resign Adam Laroche, and especially if he isn't the defensive liability at 1B that he is...

David O’Brien’s latest story announces that the Braves are interested in reacquiring Mark DeRosa and Jermaine Dye, as well as Georgia boy Mike Cameron, who has [...]

... Would Nick Johnson or Adam LaRoche really be better than a Jackson/Allen platoon? Jermaine Dye or Mike Cameron or Marlon Byrd as outfield help? Maybe Coco Crisp ? Is there anybody on the free agent list that you really want? Because I'm not seeing any obvious answers. Top Free Agents

His words, not mine. 3) That the Yankees should continue to march Johhny Damon out to left field for the...
