No shortcuts. No trade-offs.

Be inspired.
Cpl. Cooper Brannan isn’t one of those guys who’d give his right arm to do anything.
Marines such as Brannan work hard for everything they get.
No shortcuts. No trade-offs.
So instead of talking dreamily, as young men will, about giving his right arm for a chance to play in the major leagues, Brannan went to war and gave up a chunk of his left hand for his country.
His right hand, though, may be plenty enough to take the former Gilbert Highland star to the mound with the San Diego Padres.
Brannan, 22, signed a letter of intent last week with the Padres and is scheduled to finalize a formal contract once he is discharged from the Marine Corps in May. Meanwhile, he will go on leave - officially assigned to spring training.
