Branyan is Backkkkkkkkkkk

Traded a PTBNL/cash to the Atlanta Braves for 3B-OF Russell Branyan

This really confuses me. Granted, he’s reporting to Buffalo, and the Indians aren’t exactly stacked with 3B, but Branyan’s left-handed, not exactly Eddie Murray’s biggest fan, and hitting under .200 in AAA.

I’ll (safely) assume that the PTBNL is pretty much meaningless, or the Indians got Branyan for a couple thousand dollars. What remains to be seen is where Branyan will end up playing. Hopefully that’s in Buffalo, because frankly, I don’t want to see him in Cleveland at all.
