Branyan to the Rays

According to the hot stove article on mlb.com Branyan is close to joining the Rays.  With the young players that the Rays have in Young, Upton, Crawford, Baldelli, Gomes, Kazmir, and my personal favorite Cantu, who came out of no where and is consistantly slugging .500 at a premium defensive position, this is a team that I could really like.  Plus they have made some nice moves picking up undervalued players the last couple of years in Phelps, and now Branyan.  They did real well in that Baez trade as well, I think the Rays are on their way up.
