This would be a great trade for you, Tex is always a slow starter and should have a great year in the Windtunnel. I just can't see Branyan playing this well all year.

Do eet now.

When I first read the headline to the post I thought "no way." But that's just me being really high on Upton. I think this is a great sell high on Branyan and a good sell on Upton (considering how much he's struggling). Tex has historically been much better in the second half and he's getting ARod back to give him some serious protection in the lineup. I love this deal for you.

I would have to agree with the other two posters here. Branyan has been doing great for the m's this year but :( sadly the m's arent going to be as hot as they were for this first part, now they're slumping and that means Branyan is going to slump.

if the other guy accepts thgen you will have made a great trade for a guy that was hyped @ the begining of the year and will start coming around soon. And you'll be trading two waiver wire players. ;-D

correction******got the upton's mixed up...still good trade for you anyways

Jump on this and fast. Branyan is waiver wire fodder and Texiera or however you spell it might put up numbers comparable to that of a first round pick. While Upton's speed is valuable, it's not as valuable as the run, rbi, and home run totals tex will put up.

I don't think it's by that big of a gap, but Tex is defiantly worth upton and branyan. Branyan is at best a wavier wire pickup, who is playing somewhat hot ball right now. Take this trade and don't look back my friend.

Cheers,

Someone suggested that I move a 1st baseman for MI help, should I try Branyan for Weeks?
