As I’m sure you’ve seen in five or six different places before you came here, Ryan Braun was called up today. I just wanted to take a moment to point back to my April 15th 
write-up about Braun’s imminent promotion. An injury knocked my early-May prediction back a bit, so I’ll still count it as a win for me.
I expect Braun to be the impact 3B many of us thought Alex Gordon would be this year. He could easily be a top-10 guy at the position the rest of the way. I’ll say .285 with 15HR, 8SB, and a potentially high number of RBI if he gets a chance to hit near the middle of the order.
With him and Gallardo hitting Yahoo leagues in the next few days, I hope you keeper leaguers saved your waivers. There’s a lot of fun on the waiver wire this week.

I let go of Gordon recently and picked up Braun. Looks like the jump from AA to the majors was just too much for Alex.

I got Braun AND Gallardo. I was #12 in a 20-team league where Hunter Pence and Billy Butler were gobbled up immediately, but BRAUN IS MINE. Gallardo actually cleared waivers. Not a keeper league, but come on.
