Braun's Bid
Ryan Braun may end up giving Hunter Pence a run for his money for the rookie of the year award. Ryan went three for three in the Brewers losing bid to Washington today, picking up a double and two singles. That puts his batting average at .350 for the season in just 40 games. Pence collected two hits in five at bats and ends the first half with a .342 BA. But Braun is doing much better getting on base, leading Pence .391 to .367. He's also hitting for more power, posting a .663 slugging percentage to Pence's .589. A great second half by Braun helping Milwaukee win the NL Central could throw a lot of votes his way.
And Brewers fans have to be happy to have such a great offensive infield, all young.

it WILL be interesting
pence has a OBP close to his BA because he won't walk. one of the things astros fans like best about him
and neither of them exaactly have great gloves, although pence made a catch on the Hill that is gonna keep making web gem replays
