Well, I'm glad that General Manager Jack Zdurnklafjls (I do know how to spell it...Zduriencik. THERE) still gets "excited" (this is a PG website) by anything having to do with his old club, but jeez, until today I didn't think there was such thing as a poor man's Richie Sexson. I guess that would make Russell Branyan the child molester's Ryan Howard.
.250 average, 12 homers in 132 at bats last year. Whole lot of strikeouts for the career.
Awesome.
Fun Fact: I actually saw big Russ play last year...FOR THE AAA NASHVILLE SOUNDS.
He seemed like a nice enough guy. He even waved to his daughter from the on-deck circle when she cried out, "Daddy!"
And his wife was super hot.
Maybe this wasn't such a bad signing after all...
