Good move for them. I wouldn't have gone 3 years. But it's fine at 5 million per. I'd definitely take Byrd over Pierre.
With our situation, I wouldn't have. Byrd has a lot more power, but since we kind of needed a leadoff hitter, I'd rather take Pierre.
Their defense in LF pretty much cancel each other out. Pierre's definitely the better base runner and will most likely put up a higher OBP than Byrd. Plus, we're paying $1 million less for Pierre and for only two years.
