Marlon Byrd

Major league journeyman Marlon Byrd came up big for the Met's today. This group looks like it might have some life this year. It's hard to gain attention in New York with only one superstar (David Wright), but Terry Collins has assembled a group of hungry players. Another great story is that of the winning pitcher for the Met's today. Scott Rice was a career minor leaguer until he made the Met's out of spring training this year. At 31, he made his major league debut and picked up his first win, all in the same week. This is what is great about the start of each season. Each team has hope...
