Eric Byrnes has meeting on future with D-backs

"D-backs general manager Josh Byrnes and manager A.J. Hinch had breakfast with Eric Byrnes on Wednesday. On the menu was the outfielder's future in Arizona. "We just wanted to sit down and lay out what's in front of him," Josh Byrnes said, preferring to keep the specifics of the conversation private. Eric Byrnes did not immediately return phone messages left by MLB.com."

Nice of them to chat with Eric, but what could they really say? ‘Eric, you’re terrible. We’d trade you I we could, but we can’t. If you make the team next year it’ll only be b/c of that ridiculous paycheck we keep writing you. Speaking of which, you’re picking up rhe tab here, right?’

hey as terrible as he was

if he finds himself rejuvenated and performs at a professional standard, I could care less if he’s back. If he’s producing, if he’s not on the juice and he’s healthy, he can play left field for me. If he can’t perform under the pressure, then sorry young man, thank you for your service and your efforts in the community but the club has to move on without you.

I used to be disgusted, now I try to be amused....
