Traveling Man
Eric Byrnes joins his third team of the month as the Rockies and Orioles swap outfielders. Larry Bigbie is now a member of the Rockies. I'm not sure what the Orioles are getting in Byrnes that they don't have in Bigbie. Larry's two years younger and should be at the prime of his career. I really don't buy the right-handed bat notion. Most of the pitchers in the majors, and certainly in their division are right handed. You'd think the Orioles would want to stock up on lefties.
Bigbie will probably slug .550 for the Rockies next year.
Correction: Corrected spelling of Bigbie.

Pretty sure it's Bigbie, not Biggie.
He's not a value meal, y'know ;)
