The Mariners have signed 33-year old righty swinging outfielder Eric Byrnes to a 1-year deal likely worth the minimum salary as the D-Backs are on the hook for everything else. Byrnes played in 84 games for the D-Backs last season and he was 54 for 239 (.226 avg, .663 OPS) with 26 runs scored, 8 homers, 31 RBIs and 9 stolen bases. Byrnes has now played in 948 games in his major league career and he is 824 for 3,170 (.260 avg, .763 OPS) with 481 runs scored, 109 homers, 396 RBIs and 128 stolen bases. I really like this signing for the Mariners as Byrnes is capable of playing any position in the outfield defensively. He also gives them protection just in case Milton Bradley gets hurt or implodes.
