While he may or may not have gained alot of weight, one this is for sure is that he is flabbier that he was back then. Where he was a bigger but still put together guy a few years ago, he is getting into the sloppy fat range. As for his batting, it is getting to the point that it resembles when a pitcher comes up in a rally for me. I see that Prince is coming up and I pretty much assume a K or a grounder to the first baseman. To be fair, I am starting to feel that way for Braun or for that matter any player on this team except for ironically Parra.
