Simple test

If you think the Russell Branyan signing is bad, you probably wish the M's signed Griffey instead.

Which means you're:

1. Not capable of making baseball decisions based on logic
2. A casual fan who doesn't really care if the team wins
3. An idiot

Most will fall in some combination of the three.

The first player signing by Jack and he gets a healthy round of applause. Picks up a useful bat for little money on a likely one-year deal. If you think Branyan is simply a new version of Brad Wilkerson, you need to take the test again.
