With all the good news today, a small gray cloud.

I really wish the Brewers would have signed Branyan instead of Kotsay.

July 4-6 The 3TO Show comes to Miller Park. Be ready!

Sad. However, I'm assuming the Brewers (and maybe Branyan himself) think he can't play in the OF.

 

He would have literally been just a bat bench - it's tough to hold a roster spot for someone who can't play in the field. Although, they tried years ago with Brad Nelson behind Prince Fielder

So pretty much like Kotsay.

Who's to say Branyan would be ok with that kind of role? He DID have an .810 OPS with 25 dingers last year. And yet people still think his ideal role is as a PHer, probably getting about 70-ish plate appearances for the course of the season.

There must be some days that Branyon is feeling a little down and depressed. So he thinks, "I'll just go read BrewerFan.net for a little while. That will make me feel better!"

Too bad Nelson couldn't hit either. He made Joey Meyer look like Babe Ruth. I remember him hitting a ball to the warning track once- I think that was the highlight of his career.

Looks like it's a minor league deal.

 

Once again, how the heck did Kotsay get a major league deal?

Dunno, it was one of the worst deals of the off season. It makes no sense at all.

[craigharmann]

Hey, at least the D-Backs will be interesting!

[RockCoCougars]

How did Nieves, Boggs and Kotsay all get major league deals is the better question.

[pepsimax23]

pray to g-d he surpasses brandon allen.

 

as a db sth (half season plan), this would be my only reason to go to chase during the season.. long live russell the muscle.

Let's hope the new scoreboard is armored with Muscle-proof glass by then.

[GAME05]

you think a little 3" thick glass could contain The Muscle???? ha!

until he sees how people consistently butcher his name.
