Behind door #4 we find...Ryan Braun!

Braun turned 25 in November, but has already posted two seasons with an OPS+ over 125, and last season he finished third in the NL MVP voting. Among players who spent their first two major league seasons as a Brewer, Braun has practically lapped the field in all of these categories:

Ryan Braun	71
Dale Sveum	32
Prince Fielder	30
Geoff Jenkins	30
Pedro Garcia	27

RBI:

Player	RBI
Ryan Braun	203
Dale Sveum	130
Geoff Jenkins	110
Pedro Garcia	108
Paul Molitor	107

Runs scored:

Player	R
Ryan Braun	183
Paul Molitor	161
Pat Listach	143
Ernest Riles	123
Dale Sveum	121

Doubles:

Player	2B
Ryan Braun	65
Geoff Jenkins	55
Paul Molitor	53
Pedro Garcia	47
B.J. Surhoff	43

And strikeouts:

Define irony

SOMEONE is wearing her Brewers gear today, complete with Ryan Braun’s t-shirt…
although, sadly, it’s not really HIS shirt, but you get the idea.

Do you think Ryan Braun feels like a man amongst boys?

or do you think that he’s more proud of his clothing line?

Poor Braun

his advent post gets less comments because of Looper.
