What if Branyan takes his bat back to FA after having another good year in 2010 expecting once again to get more than one year guaranteed? Then what? Has Z solved any problems long term? No he has not. Has he tried to find someone to replace Branyan? No he has not. Mike Wilson never gets auditioned...Mike Carp never gets any real playing time to try to groove into being a real hitter and the team has ONCE AGAIN eschewed any and all hope of DEVELOPING TALENT on the job in favor of an old player with no long term future in the organization.
Develop talent...this is a rebuilding year now...we have to start producing position players that can hit...and the way to do that is NOT to trade some of them for a seven billion year old bat.
