He ends up with the Mariners with a 1 year, $3.5-5 million deal and probably a club or mutual option for 2011.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16244537392174499962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1153099884472898149.post-12883514837163436702009-08-09T00:01:43.469-04:002009-08-09T00:01:43.469-04:00Brad,

While it might be tough to imagine Branyan getting $7 mil a year, if he hits over 40 this year, I think teams will have to ante up if they want Branyan aboard.Jorge Says No!https://www.blogger.com/profile/04358737179481087781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1153099884472898149.post-42473645288548349182009-08-08T20:33:29.981-04:002009-08-08T20:33:29.981-04:00In addition to the huge dropoff in July and August...In addition to the huge dropoff in July and August, I would be really concerned about him being able to play a full season. He's been in the league since 1998, but this will be only the 3rd season where he's had over 300 at bats. <br /><br />That said, if he performs well the last couple of months and finishes with 35-40 home runs and 450+ at bats, he will have earned a decent contract.Brad T.http://www.baseballindepth.comnoreply@blogger.com
