Talk:Russell Branyan

Domestic violence
I recently added information about Branyan and a domestic violence charge. I sourced it and used words like "allegedly" to not seem like he had been convicted. Vtfvtfvtf (talk) keeps deleting it even though the user has been requested to stop. It is referenced and unbiased information so please, if you have an issue discuss it here before deleting again.

P.S. If you have any updates in the case please add it. --Halvorsen brian (talk) 19:40, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Outdated info
Deleted an entirely outdated sentence in the Return to Indians section and replaced it with relevant info. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.57.254.204 (talk) 04:57, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Length?
Why is this article so long and detailed? Branyan has knocked around the big leagues for more than a decade, but his statistics are mediocre at best. He's played for 11 teams in 12 years. He's never hit more that 25 home runs in a season (while striking out 131 times that year) and his lifetime batting average is .234. His post-season BA is .250, with NO homers. He has 385 walks and 1,077 strikeouts in 2,807 at-bats. And at 35, he is hardly likely to improve. So why should he get all this space? AND all those Branyan quotes, as though we should consider the statements of a mediocre baseball player as equivalent to Scripture? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zriter59 (talk • contribs) 04:43, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
