I'm trying to move on
Ryan Langerhans is my new stalking victim…
It all depends on what the Mariner’s are paying him. Russell the Muscle has never had a salary higher than $1.25M, though. He’s their new Ibanez, DH/1B style. If they have to dump him, it won’t cost much.
Anyway, I’m over it. Why sign Branyan for $1.25M (or whatever) when you can get a guy who’s younger, much worse (and that’s saying something when we’re talking about Russ Branyan) on defense, has almost as much power and none of the walks, and may him at least $3M? It’s a no-brainer.
The always-accurate Bill James Projections (all projections assume .338 lgwOBA):
Jacobs projected wOBA: .360, RV/700 = 11.7
Branyan: .359, 11.6
Marcels (my wOBA conversion, but Marcels assumes a lower lg. AVG — .332):
Jacobs: .332, 2.8
Branyan: .341, 5.7
ZiPS already as these guys (my wOBA convs, .338 lgavg)
Jacobs: .342, 2.4
Branyan: .344, 3.9 (might change when trans. oracle comes out)
Why get the milk for free when you can buy the horse?
(sigh) It’ll be tough, but I’ve got to be strong… so strong. Or maybe the Royals could use a 4th (or 5th) 1B/DH with…
Ryyyyyyyyyyannnn…. Ryyyyaaaaannn…….

You Drink Horse
Milk? Do you milk them yourself or does someone do it for you? It must be a Canuckian thing.
I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.

Recommended just for that line
(and maybe the rest too).
Didn't realize
Branyan was only 33. Seems like he’s been around forever.

This is just another ugly atrocity in the battle for Grass Creek, if you ask me

He'll get released mid-May
then we can sign him.
Don't forget to send your broken maples to the US Forest Service.
So put your mancrush in storage
We’ll pull it out later!
