Russell Branyan continues to be one of the most annoying players in fantasy baseball history. The Mariners first baseman homered in the first inning of tonight's victory over the Angels, giving him four long balls on the season. He finished with a 3-5 night with two runs scored and four RBI.
Branyan seems to have one hot streak in him every season, and when it comes, it's insane. He's hitting .341 through 12 games in 2009. This streak, however, just like all the rest, is sure to come to an end.
Fantasy Impact: Branyan's played eight stints with six different teams over five seasons. He hasn't collected 200 at bats since 2005, and he's 33 this season. Having never held down a first base job, it's hard to believe he'll keep things up for an entire season. Branyan owns a .231 career bating average and strikes out a ton. He's ownable while he's red hot but not at all once he cools off.
