Russell Branyan Rankings
We all know that signing Russell Branyan was an absolute bargain for the Mariners. We signed him for $1.4 million, and based on WAR he’s been worth $11.4 million – and it’s not even September yet. So no matter where he ranks among AL first basemen we should still...

Russell Branyan is just the type of trap that the Mets seem to always fall for, a guy who had the prospect tag but never lived up to expectations, finally puts up solid numbers and the Mets choose to see him as a late bloomer instead just having a career year...In 1997 at AAA Branyan...

Russell Branyan is Strong
I just can’t help but marvel at how ridiculously powerful Russell Branyan is. Of his 28 home runs (before today), only 5 of them have been under 400 feet.
Now I would compare this to Jose Lopez, but it’s been done a million times, so I’ll compare it to Johnny Damon...

Our Team is Weird

M’s Take 3 Of 4 From Tribe
I only got to see the last couple innings of this game (I don’t like waking up at 10 during the Summer), but I’ll do my best to recap. The Mariners got ahead early on a Russell Branyan two run bomb and a Franklin Gutierrez RBI single.
It was nice to see Branyan hit one out, [...]
Jack's First Signing

Jack Zduriencik's first big-league free agent signing is apparently Russell Branyan. Branyan, 33 this month, hit .250/.342/.583 in a platoon type role for Milwaukee last season, and is a strong bet to at least hit for power versus right-handed pitching.

Russell Branyan does on the disabled list with a herniated disk. Not that the Mariners are really still in the race, but with both Ichiro and Branyan hurt, they’re left without much offense.

Great. Russell Branyan. Sentences like this immediately frighten me:
I have a feeling Branyan will be doing more than just backing up. Let's see. Mariners GM Jack Zduriencik says he can play both infield spots, or serve as the DH.
