I am bias as a brewer fan and a big fan of Braun, but will bet his numbers will not drop off and may improve this year playing with a chip on his shoulder. They lost fielder but got A. Ramirez. Look at his stats. They are very consistent just getting some national attention since the crew finally got some pitching last year. Here are his numbers. Pretty consistent since coming to the Majors at 23yrs of age
2007 .324, 34 hr, 97 rbi, .634 slugging
2008 .285, 37 hr., 106 RBi, .553 slugging
2009 .320, 32 hr, 114 rbi, .551 slugging
2010 .304, 25 hr, 103 rbi, .501 slugging
2011 .332, 33 hr, 111 rbi, .597 slugging
