But it's open to question, how much Branyan's dropoff was due to his BABIP (which fell off to a mere .226).  Adjust his BABIP to his normal .300 and he's not killing the team.
Also wonder to what extent it was a simple batting slump, since his EYE fell off from 0.50 to 0.25 in the second half.  Admittedly, this could be due to the pain, but it's hard to tell.

Your overall point is a great one:  if he's playing in pain, will he be hurting the club?  Good question.
