Brad Nelson is a solid DH candidate if Branyan doesn't return. He has good power, compact swing, walks at a good rate, doesn't strike out as much as a lot of power hitters. What's not to like about...

Branyan, Washburn and Bedard are way more likely to re-sign than Beltre, IMO.
Time will tell which one is worse. We don't know yet.
The next Craig Monroe?
A ridiculous "article" by a 15 year old kid trying to be a reporter, especially if you saw the original version before the update.
The rumor was spawned by Dave Cameron of USS Mariner, hasn't...

^I'm all for getting LaHair out of this system, but he doesn't add value to any trade. Minimal value at best.
I already know that the argument against what I'm about to say is "But he hasn't...
Miguel Cabrera, Justin Upton and Russell Branyan should be mandatory HR Derby participants. ;)
The great Joe Posnanski's take was awesome

AAA season ends Sept 7. I really wouldn't mind if Morrow stayed down there until then and then came back to give a boost to the M's for the last 3 or 4 weeks of the season.
I don't think he'll...
Dear Brandon,
When you return from Tacoma, please bring these with you:

Definitely. I like Madritsch.. it's a shame that his mechanics were so bad that they made him a ticking time bomb.
Straight up, probably not. I don't think it would take Bedard like some have been suggesting, though. Somewhere in the middle.
The M's have discussed Brignac with the Rays, so he's a definite...
I can't believe LaHair is even on the 40 man roster. Not going to get a shot as an outfielder and is behind Branyan, Shelton, Clement, Nelson and Carp (in no particular order) on the organizational...
He's one of the best defenders at the hot corner in all of baseball. He's an upgrade over Woodward for sure.
I think Lopez gets replaced though. He's not pulling his weight offensively or...
He pissed the team off on other occasions too. And he was stabbed 8 times in one incident.
After Bucky was cut by the White Sox in 2006 he bounced around the indy leagues a little bit. Long Island Ducks of the Atlantic League and I think I even remember something about him playing in...
^That's a long time to wait. Clement isn't going to rot in AAA for 2 more years and Moore's bat is ready right now. He doesn't need 2 years to work on the D.
Brand New is just about the best...
I wonder what kind of career he might have had if he wasn't made of glass. He was always fun to watch.
Just because we sent money doesn't mean we didn't dump salary.
Wilson is next, I think.
This is a huge win for the M's, even if they paid ALL of Yuni's ~10M.
So the Angels are in on Halladay now. Oh dear god.
Luckily it wasn't an especially clever line. ;)
Depends on the price for each. Either would improve this team. Sanchez's bat would be nice, though.
I'm really hoping Z gets a good deal as redemption for Bavasi's blown Yuni for LaRoche deal
