good question.

i just heard scouts say that and he hustles on every play. and he has that bull dog like mentality.


Have you ever seen Braun play? He busts his ass on every ground ball he hits and nearly beats them out.

I would be ashamed if I was Hanley being compared to two rookies.

All he needs to do is work on his throw to first. He has shown he is very good with his glove, making a lot of spectacular plays with his glove.

With the way he is playing he has to be in the top 5 for 3B.

1st BA
1st SLG
4th HR

Braun is an offensive powerhouse.

spoken a complete bunch of nonsense.

Check the sig. That speaks volumes of Braun's ability.
"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." - Michael Jordan

Ryan Braun is not the next A-Rod.
Eventually pitchers are going to learn how to pitch to him and his numbers will drop.

I have seen Braun hit homers this year but it seems like all of them come in the first few innings. I would like to see Braun hit at least one clutch hit/homer this year before we crown him king.

I'll polish Braun's kosher knob any day of the week but calling him the next A-Rod is a bit of hyperbole. I expect his average to drop a bit next season maybe settle in around .310, which is still fantastic. The one thing I didn't see yet is that he has 10 steals in 13 attempts. That is 76%, for a third baseman. Just phenomenal. mahalo

Ryan Braun is the real deal.

If you don't see it then you are in denial.

Man, I'd love to see David Wright, Ryan Braun, and Miguel Cabrera make Third Base in the National League like Alex Rodriguez, Nomar Garciaparra, and Derek Jeter were at Shortstop in the American League...
