Braun Wins Appeal



According to Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Ryan Braun had his 50-game PED suspension overturned. The exonerated NL MVP had been bumped down many draft boards, but is now probably a safe 1st-round pick yet again.

2012 PROJECTION: .315 BA, 30 HR, 105 RBI, 95 R, 20 SB, .925 OPS

It's yet to be seen how the loss of Prince Fielder and the addition of Aramis Ramirez to the Brewer lineup will impact Braun's numbers, but I have a feeling that he'll find a way to get to this projection without too much struggle.


UPDATE:

So the courier didn't take Braun's sample directly to FedEx and instead kept it in his fridge before sending it to the lab. I'm sure while it was in the fridge some of the courier's giant vat of synthetic testosterone accidentally spilled into Braun's pee. Consider the projection above to be a ceiling, not a floor...
