Further Proof That Baseball Players And Writers Know Nothing About Baseball

According to Anthony Castrovince of MLB.com:
"[T]he Russell Branyan trade . . . was, simply put, a very popular move in the Indians' clubhouse. Branyan was great with reporters, but he was not exactly up for team captain consideration by his teammates.

For whatever it's worth, the Indians are 11-6 without Branyan on the roster (6-6 when he was on the DL in April; 5-0 since the trade)."
Russell Branyan's 2010 stats: .264/.333/.500 (.361 wOBA), +4 FRAR fielding, +1.4 WAR (injury-shortened season)

The Indians, as a whole: .247/.323/.381 (.315 wOBA), 8.2 UZR/150

With the exception of Carlos Santana and Shin Soo-Choo, Russell Branyan's +1.2 WAR on the Indians in limited is higher than any other batter on the team (through 07/01/2010).

So yes, the Branyan trade totally makes sense for the Indians. He was costing the team at least a full run per game in Leadership Per Nine (L/9).
