Is that the M's just have to be rejecting Branyan because of the medical reports. Otherwise this one is completely baffling.
Branyan had a 150 OPS+ in the first half last year for what, a couple million.
Even including the slump he was worth $100,000 per game in 2009. It's incomprehensible. Gotta be the med reports...
But then why offer him 1 year, as they did earlier? Only *logical* thing is that Branyan still wasn't taking 1 year at the time they signed, er, Kotchman.
