He had a chance and didnt hit. He needs to play everyday, so this is a good move. Im sure he will be back up in due time. Kid just needed more time in the minors.

This was a no-brainer. He needs to play.

The truth is.....Brantley has never hit for shit....even in the minors. You can't steal first base.

I heard that Branyan is really good at bringing in unearned runs! Ha ha...just joking, Footwedge! ;-). Royal_k: you HAD to throw that CC business at me, didn't you? Ha ha, that's a good one. (Is shelbucks posting on here yet?) :-)

They did not sign him only to not play him.

BRF....I humbly accepted a full blown defeat in my unearned run argument.

Laley and HitsRUs gave me a royal curbstomping. I will live to fight another day though.

Russ batted in the 2 hole last year for some ungodly reason. Rumor has it he pounded it.

NO ONE in the farm system is going to provide what Branyan brings (Possibly...if he is in last years form) and that is 25+ HRs and 65+ RBI. Brantley COULDVE been more useful because of Branyans average and Ks, but because he isnt hitting we dont get to utilize the skills he has an advantage on Branyan, aka...his speed.

Im interested to see what Russell can bring this year and where he hits. Does he replace Hafner in the clean-up spot. Does he hit 5th making 4 lefties in a row? Does he hit behind Peralta in the 6th hole?
