Byrd... maybe he is just a product of Texas - but he's a year younger and a little better CF who knows? Reed vs Right handers past 3 seasons OPS .616
Byrd vs Right handers past 3 seasons OPS .829

I love Reed – I hope he comes back as a #4OF – he destroys LHanders and he’s a pro. Byrd… maybe he is just a product of Texas – but he’s a year younger and a little better CF
who knows?

I think the question is who is the real Marlon Byrd - his pre-Rangers numbers are awful. If he can build even a little on his stats from the past 3 seasons, he'll be fine. I liked Jeff Blauser too, before he became a Cub. How much of a bump to those numbers for Bryd to you attribute to playing in Texas?

OPS+ from Baseball-reference: Reed: 66/98/89 (which is flat-out awful when you consider he's a below average center fielder) Bryd: 112/121/106 (and he plays average CF) Not even close, not even close.

OPS+ from Baseball-reference:
Reed: 66/98/89 (which is flat-out awful when you consider he’s a below average center fielder)

Bryd: 112/121/106 (and he plays average CF)

Not even close, not even close.
