<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->"I know a lot of writers and scouts who haven't seen me play in the outfield don't think I can play out there because of my size," Byrd said. "When people see me play, they know I can play."<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->"Marlon, he can go get the ball," Piniella said. "He gets a good jump on it and has good hands. He'll be our regular center fielder."<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
