Is that why guys usually under perform in contract years? Living in WI, I've been reading about Fielder for years, especially since he's part of the best team we've seen in Milwaukee for many years. That is why I talk like I do about this team, because I've read and watched them a ton.
You don't know many people that get a bad case of the flu? Seriously? Check out the CDC's website. My kid's school had 30% of the school body out just 3 weeks ago due to it. Had it myself 2 weeks ago, my wife had it last week. It sucks, but it the grand scheme of life, it's a tiny blip.
oh yeah, didn't you say 10 lbs of muscle originally?
If you saw Braun playing 3rd last year, you'd take anything besides that. If he plays left at the same level as Barry Bonds did in '07, I'll take it.
One more thing, I don't remember the brewers having Cameron on their team when they started 25-11 in '07.
To this point there are 4 teams in the majors who have only played 6 home games. The Brewers have the best record among them by two games. Tough loss in Cinci. The bats have been a little cold. But life is tough on the road in the world of pro sports. The Cubs and Cards, on the other hand, have played 12 home games each and have only bested the Brewers by one game for the Cubs and half a game for the Cards. Job well done for the Brewers so far. Even with the tough loss today.
