[h1]Byrnes Released By M's After Bizarre Weekend[/h1]
May 03, 2010 1:26 AM EST
The Mariners released veteran outfielder Eric Byrnes Sunday night, just two days after a late-game gaffe and then bizarre exit from the clubhouse on a bicycle.
His release comes at a minimal cost to Seattle; the Diamondbacks are paying all but $400,000 of the $11M due in the final year of his $30M contract, according to an Associated Press report.

QFT! Velez is terrible!
Bottom line is that you cannot depend on Velez. Every game, Velez gives you a reason to scratch your head. Byrnes is better and cheap. Better base stealer, better baserunner, and better defensive player. What's there not to like? If he sucks, cut him.Originally Posted by EZLN1
you guys cant be serious? I mean, damn, even I liked Byrnes a few years back when he was across the bay, but his fall from grace has been meteoric when he made the jump to AZ
Velez should be sent back, but at the very least this move would take away any chance of seeing if Downs will progress. I like dude's swing, and he seems to make very solid contact and has an approach at bat rarely seen by others. If/when Velez is sent down, with the eventual appearance of fragile freddy (whose resigning was applauded by many of you), and Bochy's ineptitude to sit struggling vets like rent and de rosa, i'm worried he's going to get lost in the shuffle. You're going to have de rosa/rent/uribe/sanchez all vying in the infield...add Byrnes in the mix, and de rosa again, and possibly bowker (if he aint already in fresno) in the OF, he's going to get lost and rot on the bench.
I'm tired of clubhouse vets...I'd rather let someone like Downs get play whenever possible than sign another worhtless bum who will not pan out. We already got too many aurilia's on our team to sign another one
Byrnes does things better than Velez.
Byrnes' .094 average says otherwise.
