It's Branyan's downside risk that concerns me and probably the rest of MLB. In reality, that shouldn't be a problem unless the team doesn't have the guts to DL him when he's hurt. That was the 2009 problem, along with no back-up plan. The team was so strapped for bats that they were reluctant to sit Russ when hurt in favor of Hannahan, Lopez, or Carp. Now the point is moot, as the roster is full.
