Outfielder Marlon Byrd has decided to sign a one year contract with the Texas Rangers.  The Contract will be for $1.8 million dollars.  Pretty good money for Byrd would will pretty much just be a bench player and fill in for Josh Hamilton or Milton Bradley.

There were rumors a few weeks ago that the Chicago Cubs were looking to sign Byrd, but that didn’t happen and he is back with the Texas Rangers.  I really don’t think he will help the team out that much to be honest.  What do you think?  Should the Rangers have just used a younger player to take Byrd’s spot on the roster?
