I wholeheartedly disagree with you. I've been to about 100 different spring training practices and have watched Braun repeatedly be gracious and friendly with fans, coaches, teammates all the time. If you want a cocky/jerk/prick type (AT THE TIME) you could see it oozing out of Brett Lawrie. I've had multiple conversations with him, one of which was discussing the WBC right before he went to play in it. We talked for 10 minutes. He was signing autos the entire time. A cocky/jerk/prick type pro athlete wouldn't do that. Braun gets it when it comes to his status in the game and he also gets it when it comes to marketability. He isn't going to do anything to mess that up.
