A new addition to his family, a daughter named Quinn, was born on Friday. And his lower back is pain-free. All he needs now is a job. 罗素˙肌肉˙布拉娘先生家里新盖了游泳池＆按摩浴缸、女儿刚出生、背痛也好很多， 所以他觉得很舒胡，现在万事具备，只欠一个工作了。 Getting one should be easy for the first baseman who last season led the Mariners with 31 home runs and drove in a career-high 76 runs before a herniated disk in his back ended his season a month early. "I am feeling pretty good and could play right now if I had to," Branyan said during a telephone interview from his home. "I've been going to therapy three times a week since I came home, and I just started some lifting. I'm a little sore from that, but I feel a lot better than I did at the end of the season." He would feel a lot better if he received a phone call from Mariners general manager Jack Zduriencik and they worked out a new contract. Branyan, eligible to become a free agent, wants to continue his rejuvenated Major League career in the middle of Seattle's lineup. "Honestly, it's a good fit for me, a good fit for the team," Branyan said. "I don't know exactly what they are thinking, but I should find out something in the next week or two." 今年31HR、76RBI的布拉娘表示：我的背部已经不再臣又了，马上上场干几发都没问题， 老实说，比起我的背，我跟水兵的关系才是真正的臣又～我爱水兵、水兵爱我，所以我们 来谈合约吧！ Just in case, Branyan filed for free agency on Monday, but the Mariners still have exclusive negotiating rights until Nov. 20. Six of the seven Mariners eligible for free agency have filed, leaving only Ken Griffey Jr. to do so before the Nov. 19 deadline. "Hopefully, they come and offer me something to come back to Seattle," Branyan added. "I'm not looking to break the bank. All I want is to be treated fairly." Re-signing Branyan would definitely create more of a buzz in Mariner Nation than Dec. 3, when he accepted a one-year, $1.4 million offer that also included $350,000 in bonuses, becoming the first free agent signed during the Zduriencik regime. It was the first of several moves Zduriencik made that turned out extremely well. 「我没有倾城倾国所以不要水兵倾家荡产，我只愿你许我一个真心，好吗？」今年领 1.4M+0.35M红利的布拉娘如此说。 Branyan had a career year and is one of the leading candidates for the American League's Comeback Player of the Year. Given an opportunity to play regularly for the first time in his career, Branyan had a superb first half, batting .280 with 22 home runs and 49 RBIs at the All-Star break. But lower back and hip issues plagued him during the second half of the season, and he played his last game on Aug. 28. "I was feeling great going into the All-Star break," he said, "but when we played in Cleveland coming out of the break, my back started bothering me and gradually got worse and worse. It began affecting the way I was swinging the bat, but I wanted to continue to play, so I tried to play through it." Looking back, he said he probably would have been better off taking a week or two off to let the pain subside. But his career year was going so well he didn't want to interrupt it. "I guess it was a bit of a gamble on my part, but it was my choice," he said. "My therapist told me my body just kind of broke down from a strength and endurance standpoint, and the main reason was I was playing every day." The program he's on now is designed to strengthen his back and hips. He should be ready to go full-speed when Spring Training opens. He said proper maintenance during the season should allow him to withstand the rigors of a six-month season. 下半季因伤所苦的布拉娘回忆起惨痛的往事，他的治疗师说：「你每天都这麽猛，难怪身 体会冻每条，现在我要把你好好调教调教，让你新赛季亲像一尾活龙！」 Reflecting on this past season, Branyan said a lot of things stood out. "We had a great time, and it was a great group of guys. From a personal standpoint, to be able to step up and produce when given the opportunity was huge. Deep down I knew I could do it and regardless how I ended up the final six weeks, I still had a great year." Besides career highs in home runs and RBIs, he established single-season marks in at-bats (431), hits (108), walks (58) and strikeouts (149). More than anything, perhaps, he dispelled the belief that he couldn't hit left-handed pitchers. "One thing Jack and I talked about before signing is that I was truly convinced that I could produce against right-handers and left-handers," Branyan said. During his healthy part of the season, Branyan batted .247 with five home runs in 93 at-bats against lefties. He walked 13 times and struck out 41 times. "I was a little surprised I got off to such a good start because I hadn't faced lefties in the big leagues in a long time," Branyan added. "I would always be yanked out of games because the manager would go with a right-left matchup. "The first time I faced [CC] Sabathia this year I felt overmatched. I hadn't faced anyone of that caliber. The second time I faced him, I felt better." Even when he made outs against southpaws, he said he would go back to the dugout and tell himself, "I am this close to having better at-bats against them." "There is no doubt in my mind that I will be healthy and produce," he said. "I feel that I will have a better year than I had this year. I'm really excited, and I want it to happen in Seattle. "Don [Wakamatsu, the manager] and the coaching staff believe in me, and I think they know I will have a better year." Branyan wants a chance to prove that he's right again. 布拉娘：「说我猛还真的满猛的，大家都以为我只能对右投干炮，我健康时对左投可是在 93AB里有.243、5HR的成绩呢！（挺） 想当初第一次跟沙胖杠上我吓死了，但我每次被比下去之後都会告诉自己：『现在放弃， 球赛就结束了…』，所以下次上场时，想要干炮的欲望仍然是满点的！对於明年，我也是 带着这样的想法，我可以更猛，我想以水兵的身份证明这点，所以Z老大签我吧签我吧！」 (完) -- 第一次翻译，请鞭小力一点… --
