re: Grayson Byrd says he was no longer having fun

This situation is odd.

Maybe he just did a poor job of explaining himself (he is young), but his statement makes him come across as either a prima donna or a pussy.

Maybe Byrd just thinks more highly of himself than his current production level indicates. He wouldn't be the first. But, most kids figure it out pretty quickly though and he was CLEARLY playing behind players that were more productive. And, if we are talking about 2B, it's not like Foster was a great player. So, there was ample evidence and opportunity for him to be humbled. This doesn't add up, IMO.

And, his dad was tough and played forever. I can't imaging that Byrd just can't handle criticism from a coach even if it is over the top and unfair. This also doesn't add up, IMO.

Byrd's statement isn't doing himself any favors though.
