Its a pity that Ryan Braun was sent down to the minors, but that does allow us to start betting on when he'll reach the big league club this season. I'd say its 2 to 1 odds he's in Milwaukee by the beginning of June. Betting on the All Star breaks seems like a wash. I understand the need to have a person at third base who doesn't throw the ball away on a regular basis, but how is this any different than the Rickie Weeks situation. He threw the ball to Bob Uecker on a few plays and stayed around. The only difference is that we know Ryan Braun can hit, right now. Whatever, hopefully Counselnino can do the job at third. If they do a really good job and the left fielders aren't, could Braun possibly move to left? At least that way, his throwing errors would be greatly limited and he can hit all he wants.

At least Uecker has one nutso fan (2/3 down the page). I wonder if she only follows him because she's a huge Mr. Belvedere fan and couldn't care less about the Brewers. If only she could find Mr. Belvedere, then she could leave Ueck alone.
