Free Agent Adjustments: Russell Branyan

Gettyimageproxy
(For the last few weeks, I've been profiling some of the best free agents on the market this winter. At the end of each piece, I made a prediction regarding the type of contract the player could be in line to see. Obviously, these predictions have to be fluid because the season...

Russell Branyan Rankings

Gettyimageproxy
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...

It's a trap !!! Russell Branyan

Gettyimageproxy
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

Gettyimageproxy
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...

Bolstering the Astros Infield - Pt. 3: Shortstop of the Future

Russell_branyan_5e72
When I mentioned in my last FanPost that I wanted to talk about some unlikely ideas that Wade probably won't take to, I was thinking more about converted first basemen like Russell Branyan.  A bit of news on MLB Trade Rumors caught my eye, though, and changed my mind....

Our Team is Weird

Russell_branyan_5e72
With the current injuries to Russell Branyan, Adrian Beltre, and Ichiro, we’ve been putting out some of the worst lineups I’ve ever seen. We’re incredibly lucky that the brunt of these injuries has come during a homestand featuring the A’s and the Royals. But...

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.

Branyan Disabled

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.

Braves Win On The Road?

Jorge Campillo's ERA rose after today's outing as our fifth starter, while the Braves secured a rare 8-1 road win against the Brewers. Campillo, who's ERA was 0.86 before the game, allowed a home run to Russell Branyan to increase his ERA to 0.99, just disgusting. That...

This Guy Is Playing Golf Right Now: Russell Branyan

Time to Sell High: Russell Branyan?

Power at First

The Mariners Continue To Be The Evil Empire Of Mediocre Acquisitions

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. The Extra Innings package should really be complimentary...
