Eric Byrnes Official Website

The D-backs may try to steal as many bases in 2008 as they did last season, but no longer will they have the element of surprise working in their favor.

He's got a three-year, $30 million contract in his back pocket. He had dinner with President George W. Bush at the White House in January and he even has his own television show. Much has changed for Eric Byrnes since his first Spring Training with the D-backs in 2006, when he came to camp hoping to resurrect his career.

Many fantasy fans prefer to stock their rosters full of players from their favorite team, as opposed to players who make a living playing for a feared rival. Wouldn't you rather go through the season checking Eric Byrnes' stats every night, instead of a player from another National League West team?
