The second is a player with an ego so large, or an attitude that since they have been promoted to the 'big club' that they consider it an insult on their abilities to be sent down...I'm really hoping Eric Byrnes falls into the former category. I don't doubt the man's heart, desire, ability, whatever...but he is absolutely killing the club right now, and there is no quick fix in sight to Byrnes' struggles...the big hurt here is the salary, and for the time being, it looks like it's been an unwise signing. But who can tell when injuries will rear their ugly head...

However, a long stay on the DL and a nice long rehab in the minors is just what the Dr ordered...and the show is stupid! I never like to see a player get hurt. However, a long
