Diamondbacks' manager Bob Melvin says that Eric Byrnes will begin next season on the team's bench. Conor Jackson will be the team's everyday left fielder despite that Byrnes became just the 11th player in major league history to hit 20 home runs and steal 50 bases just two years ago. "He kind of comes into a situation where he was a couple of years ago when he came to the Diamondbacks ?- he is not afraid of competition," Melvin said of Byrnes. "I think he looks at it as an opportunity to go out and win a job."
