There was one bit of news coming out of Seattle yesterday despite what was a really slow day in baseball.According to various sources, Seattle Mariners free agent 1B Russell Branyan rejected a one-year deal from the Mariners kidrock forever . No terms of the deal have been disclosed, but Branyan rejected the deal because he feels he can get a multi-year deal on the open market.My initial reaction is that Branyan has overplayed his hand.Let’s look at the facts facing Branyan this offseason:He will be 34-years-old on December 19.

In 116 games in 2009, he hit .251 with 31 homeruns and a .867 OPS kid rock lyrics . He missed all of September because of a herniated disk in his back kidrock video . He has been going to therapy three days a week to correct his back issue.Branyan made his debut on September 26, 1998, and up until 2009, he really hadn’t accomplished anything at the major league level.That’s almost 11 years of being nothing more than a pinch hitter/role player kidrock american . That’s a long time.There are plenty of 1B/DH-type players on this year’s open market.We are still in a bad economy.The last two facts are probably the most concerning for Branyan’s camp kidrock summer . Did they not learn anything from last year? Take the money now while they can!The longer Branyan waits on a two-year deal, the likelihood that he will wait himself into a corner increases, and he will be forced to take a one-year deal worth not as much as what the Mariners initially offered.I don’t think there is going to be a team out there (not even Omar Minaya) willing to give a 34-year-old, who has a bad back and without much of a track record, a multi-year deal.If you are a GM, why would you give Branyan a two-year deal when you can give Hank Blalock, Carlos Delgado, or even Xavier Nady a one-year deal and get pretty similar production?I have no problem with a player trying to get the most money possible.

As I have said several times, everyone in this country should try to get paid what they think they are worth.However, we are in a unique period in our country’s history . As we learned last offseason, this country’s economic problems can even trickle down to baseball.Sometimes you have to bite the bullet and realize that there are uncontrollable obstacles in your way.Maybe Branyan will get more money on a one-year deal than the Mariners were offering—who knows?But if last year has taught us anything, Branyan made a mistake rejecting the Mariners’ offer.You can follow The Ghost of Moonlight Graham on Twitter theghostofmlg This article is also featured on The Ghost of Moonlight Graham kidrock cd .
