Hype...Absolutely not!!!!! Not to mention the vast defensive improvement with the move to left-field. Don't doubt this guy. Phenom in every sense of the word. Watch out NL central, the crew is rolling. Going for 6 straigth & 9 of 10 tomorrow. Nearing halfway point of season and Braun is in top five or top ten for many offensive categories.

None went late first round. If they were drafted there, their leaguemates mocked that owner. So, yeah, Braun is chock full of hype and going too early.

Braun is hitting 4th again today so that looks like the most likely spot for him. Right between Fielder and Hart works for me." “That diagram didn’t work so well for say Howard, Pujols, Fielder, Hanley, Utley, Reyes etc. Studs are studs and you cannot avoid them just because they are risky.

Last year was a great year to have him, next year will be a good year to have him. This year he'll be expensive, except for you. At $4, there's no way you can't take him.

He kept telling me that I was stupid for selecting Braun for $4 and Tulo for $21. He then selected Jason Bay for $34.<br/><br/>Nonetheless, I think you're mostly right about the hype, but .290/90/35/120/15 is still top 20.

Plus, he still makes like a million errors… maybe they should move him to first LOL… but then again, there’s Fielder… oh well.
