Realistically, it’s unlikely Braun is a .324/1.004 guy this year but he really doesn’t have to be. He could have a “sophmore slump” and still be very good.

Sorry if this showed up twice… I hit stop to correct a spelling error.

There are going to be exceptions for sure, and normally they are very good hitters. I don’t think Braun’s is as sustainable as Cabrera’s unless he becomes a more patient. Cabrera’s career walk rate is .101 walks per plate appearance, while Braun’s last season was .059 BBs/PA.

I say roughly, because I just crudely added them up (.355, .378, .358) and divided by three but he played full seasons so it’s close enough.
