Kolby Byrd Excited About Opportunity, To Begin Negotiations With Cardinals

Asked about his opportunity to play for the Cardinals, Byrd said, "It's just a privilege. That's the team I wanted to go with. I've always been a big (Albert) Pujols fan," referring to the Cards' All-Star first baseman.

Contract negotiations are the next step. Attorney Bus Cook of Hattiesburg handles most of the Mississippi professional athletes. "(Cardinals) said they would talk money with me tonight and tomorrow," said Byrd. "We'll probably go somewhere and eat and celebrate."
