I know that Lyon is over paid, but based on Marlon Byrd’s home/road splits he is the most likely of the group to be a complete bust.

Figgins deal was the best value.

Except that Wrigley and Arlington’s park factor is about the same…

And even if he busts…so what? You’re out $5-10 million most likely. That’s Aaron Miles money for the Cubs. I think Byrd will be a completely serviceable average outfielder who is getting slightly underpaid. That’s a good deal compared to the others.
