Byrd's a good outfielder, but I don't think he had a better season in the field last year than Murphy. He was probably the second best OF on the team behind Murph last year.

murph has decent speed... but hes the slowest ofer on the team(note im not counting jones for any of these things) Hes got a decent arm... but hes got the weakest arm of any of the ofers. I understand your point but hes not a better defensive player than byrd.
