For those mentioning Branyan as a possible first baseman for next year, I live in Cleveland and watched Branyan butcher first base this year until the Indians dumped him. I have been a baseball fan for 50 years, and have never seen a worse defensive first baseman than Branyan this year. The Indians routinely removed him in the 7th inning for a mediocre Andy Marte, and are thrilled with the defensive improvement they have seen with LaPorta at first, who is just learning how to play the position.
