Meh. I'd trade Branyan, and unload Griffey to get some auditions in here.
Carp plays 1st, and Clement looks like hes a DH-only. Giving Shelton some playing time doesn't hurt either. He could pull a Branyan for all we know and he'll actually be under club control.
If you really wanted Brayan, I could see playing him at 3rd base in the future but not at 1b/DH.
Brayan isn't a 900-950 OPS bat, hes an 800-850 OPS bat thats getting lucky. Guys like Burrell and Abreu only made $6-7mil last offseason. You could trade him, audition some guys, and then re-sign him again this offseason if you really wanted.
