Cubs make Byrd their starting CF: The Cubs found the center fielder they'd been searching for, agreeing Thursday to a $15 million, three-year contract with Marlon Byrd. Byrd hit .283 with 20 homers and 89 RBI last season for Texas. He will take over in center from Kosuke Fukudome, who will move to right field full-time after the trade of the troubled Milton Bradley to Seattle. "When I knew I had the opportunity to become a Cub, I was really hoping that this would be my landing ground," Byrd said during a conference call with reporters, adding that rejoining hitting coach Rudy Jaramillo made it even better.

Fantasy Analysis
In three seasons working with Jaramillo in Texas, Byrd batted .295 with 40 homers and 212 RBI. "I really enjoyed my last three years with Rudy. I'm very comfortable with him. As you guys have heard over and over again, he is the best in the business. Especially with Rudy and me being close and having that relationship, it's going to work with him another three years." Byrd has always been a good hitter, but he finally showed some power last year, doubling his previous career high of 10 home runs. You shouldn't expect another 20 homers from him, especially with him leaving Texas, but with 15 or so, his batting average is good enough to make him a No. 4 or 5 Fantasy OF.
