Two former Brewers platooning?

Potentially Russel Branyan and Matt LaPorta, yes that Matt LaPorta, could see themselves in a platoon with one another. An interesting thought for Brewers' fans, as LaPorta was the dynamic prospect that was involved in the CC Sabathia trade, while Branyan played a big role on the 2008 team in his platoon with Bill Hall at 3B, including his memorable shot in the bottom of the 9th against Joe Nathan and the Twins to send the game into extras. A far cry from last season for Branyan, as he had a huge first half before finishing with 30+ HR in his first real shot at full-time ABs for Jack Z's Mariners.
