Branyan Wants To Return To Seattle In 2010 - 美國職棒

布拉娘 明年想要繼續繼續留在水手

但是自從明星賽後他的表現是.193/.274/.414

如果水手想留下他

可能需要給一個33歲且生涯平均打擊率.234的打者一張複數年合約

Russell Branyan would like to return to Seattle next season, according to
Geoff Baker of The Seattle Times. Branyan signed a one-year, $1.4MM deal with
the Mariners last season, and has taken advantage of an increase in playing
time in 2009, batting .251/.347/.520 with 31 homers.

"I'd love to come back here," Branyan said. "I enjoy playing in this ballpark,
I enjoyed getting to play on an every-day basis this year. I'd be excited to
entertain the option to come back here next year."

While the 33-year-old Branyan is currently on the disabled list and has
slumped since the All-Star break (.193/.274/.414), his overall performance
this season has exceeded expectations. If the Mariners were to re-sign him,
they would certainly be giving more years and more money this time around to
the career .234 hitter.
