I'd love to see some Pitch/FX data on Braun's plate discipline since his first walk, but to the naked eye it appears that he has been laying off more borderline pitches, especially deep in the count. Whether that's an effect of trying to be more selective, or simply seeing the ball better, is anyone's guess. But he has proven that he can make solid contact on pitches several inches off the plate and off of his shoetops, so unless he's really on board with making walking a core part of his skillset I think he'll continue to hack. I'm curious how 40 extra points of OBP could affect his projections. I wonder what players are comps with and without that bump; it appears that there isn't enough of a sample size for B-R to calculate any. Numbers wise, I'd still put my money on Fielder being better when alll is said and done. There just isn't enough difference in value between LF and 1B. I'd say it's 25% more likely Braun will be a very good player than a great one.
