Um, Braun has been dealing with numbness in his right hand between the thumb and index finger for well over a year. Living in Wisconsin as you do, Frank, I think you've heard about that. Yeah...

His drop in numbers have nothing to do with anything he's taken, or not taken, since testing positive for a banned substance. In the first two weeks of the 2014 season, he had a three home run game at Philadelphia, and a two home run game at Pittsburgh, and probably should have been a member of the NL All Star squad this year, even playing with the injury. Braun was hitting .298 with 19 doubles, 6 triples, 11 home runs, 52 RBI and an .863 OPS at the break. He was top ten in the NL in RBI and OPS.
