PITTSBURGH -- Marlon Byrd walked into the visitors' clubhouse at PNC Park on Friday afternoon ready to take on a new role with a new team, the Giants, his fifth club in the past three seasons. But it all felt familiar.
It wasn't just because Byrd had spent plenty of time in that clubhouse as a visiting player. It's because Byrd found himself in the same situation two years ago, just on the other side of the ballpark along the Allegheny River.
This is the second time in three years that Byrd has been picked up in late August by a team with its eyes on the postseason.
