Fantasy Analysis
Byrnes was also given a day off last Saturday and has just one RBI and two extra-base hits since April 23, when he was hitting .287. His average has since dropped to .214. Because he has the potential to pop 20 homers and steal 30 bases, however, he's worthy of No. 2 Fantasy outfielder billing in all formats. (Updated 05/16/2008).
