Marlon Byrd has come out of nowhere with a breakout season in 2013. He is now 36 with only one or two seasons left but a contender could really use him next season. He plays a very solid outfield and swings the bat well. Having this great season will help him on the free agent market, but look for the Pirates to try to resign him. In 30 games with the Pirates he had 9 extra base hits and 17 RBI. Putting him behind McCutchen and in front of Alvarez has really helped their offense. He will end up getting a 2 year deal most likely and could end up being traded to a contender at the deadline if the team he ends up with is out of the race.
