Marlon Byrd Activated From DL: Homers In Return rotoballer.com Sat 6/20/15 10:32 AM
This article references A, Marlon Byrd and more! The Cincinnati Reds activated Marlon Byrd from the 15-day DL and he delivered a homerun in his first game back.
The Reds won Friday’s game against the Miami Marlins 5-0. Byrd did his part with a solo homerun in a 1-for-4 return. The 37-year-old had missed the last few weeks.
During his rehab assignment, Byrd went 2-for-7 with a homer in two games for Double-A Pensacola. It was apparently enough for the Reds to bring him back and place him back in the outfield.
"I'm extremely happy and[...]Keep on reading: Marlon Byrd Activated From DL: Homers In Return

ANALYSIS: He’s far from a spring chicken or a trendy fantasy player, but Marlon Byrd’s strange late-career renaissance refuses to end. Since the start of the 2013 season, Byrd’s 57 home runs are 20th in all of baseball. A putrid April has yielded to a torrid May, as Byrd has hit .342/.500/.895 with six homers through the first half of the month. The Barry Bonds impression obviously won’t hold up, but Byrd’s earned some respect with[...]Keep on reading: Marlon Byrd (OF, CIN) – Waiver Wire Pickups

This article references A, Billy Hamilton, Delino DeShields, Jr., Khris Davis, Leonys Martin, Logan Morrison, Marlon Byrd, SP, Steven Souza and more! You’ve almost certainly seen or heard countless sportswriters and broadcasters use the term “quarter pole” to denote when the first 25 percent of the regular season has been played. If you’re like me and have zero interest in horse racing, you’ve probably never thought anything of it. I recently learned, however, that the quarter pole is actually placed at the beginning of the final quarter of the track. Cue shooting star “The More You Know” graphic.

It's week six and it's raining Bryce Harper home runs! Harper homers, as they are affectionately called in our nation's capital. Now, if you're expecting a passage on how to get the most out of Harper's sky-high value, you're out of luck. This is not a fluke. Of course, one shouldn't expect the young Harper to hit six home runs every week. But he's the real deal and any trade involving him would likely be a rip off for his current owner.

BALLER MOVE: Add in Most LeaguesANALYSIS: Marlon Byrd had one of the best seasons among outfielders who don't get much recognition last year when he hit 24 home runs, 88 RBIs, and scored 75 times all while batting .291.
