Good to see some chatter back on here Will. I would like to start by giving a special shout out to the Cleveland Indians. They have proven my point exactly one week after I made it.
The last place Indians have traded Russell Branyan back to the equally worse Seattle Mariners this week. The question now.....WHY?
Did you think Branyan was really going to make an impact with the Tribe? He did just that while hitting 11 hr and batting .240. Why go out and sign him in Feb when you can just have some young guys get some at bats.
GM Mark Shapiro was quoted saying that he wants to get a bunch of young guys into the lineup throughout the rest of the season. My question for you Mark....was it worth the $2.5 million over the last 3 months to sign Branyan?
I guess I just do not understand the logic that goes into these types of moves. As you know I am a huge baseball fan. I will continue to go to Tribe games just to watch some of the best athletes in the world perform. I just wonder if the moves over the past 3 years could scare away fans for years to come.
Oh and by the way, the Tribe are officially last in MLB in attendance.
