A perfect example for fantasy baseball players: Marlon Byrd

Gimme some

Marlon Byrd is going to be a little under-priced in NL-only fantasy baseball leagues and overlooked completely in deep mixed versions. Thank Alfredo Aceves, a nutritionist and Muay Thai for that.

Last May, an Aceves offering struck Byrd in the head, and he spent a month and a half on the disabled list. This winter, the 34-year-old learned of some food allergies he had and altered his diet. Then, he took up the Thai martial arts discipline.

It's cliche to doubt "best shape of my life" stories, which were already cliche. Let's try not to clump them all together, shall we?
