Diamondback Journal

The Diamondbacks locked up their last arbitration eligible player and they won’t have to go to the arbitration table.  The last holdout was Eric Byrnes, and the Diamondbacks signed the outfielder to a one year, $4.575 million deal today.  Byrnes was very good in 2006 when he hit 26 homeruns and stole 25 bases.  The team wasn’t willing to commit to a long term deal because they think they have better players coming up through the system.
