| April 15, 2008 Ned Yost told JS Online that Ryan Braun is out of the lineup today against St. Louis because he needs to "relax." "He's stepping in the (batter's) box and wanting to get into a real big hurry," said Yost. "He's too good a hitter for that to happen." |
| April 11, 2008 Ryan Braun continues to work on his approach at the plate but he has a long way to go as he has yet to draw a BB in 40 AB this season, according to MLB.com. "There's some anxiousness there," manager Ned Yost said. "It doesn't really 'bother' me, it concerns me a little bit. It's not something that can continue, [but] I'm not apt to change it this early. I'll give it its due course." As we have previously stated, unless Braun becomes more selective at the plate there is virtually no way he will be able to hit over .320 again though he also isn't the .250 hitter he has currently shown himself to be. |
| April 7, 2008 Ryan Braun did all but hit a triple in Sunday's win over the Giants.

| April 2, 2008 Ryan Braun had three hits, one RBI, and one run scored on Wednesday to up his season average to .400 in 10 at-bats. Nothing less than a .300-35-120 season is expected from Braun this season, though in order to reach that level it would be nice to see him work on his plate discipline as he still strikes out too often without taking enough walks. |
| March 26, 2008 Ryan Braun blasted his fifth homer as he went 1-for-3 with two RBI against the White Sox on Wednesday. The rookie phenom of 2007 is off to a strong start this spring. |
| March 21, 2008 Ryan Braun, out for a couple of games because of a strained Achilles tendon, returned to the lineup on Friday to hit a 3-run home run. Braun will bat cleanup this year to protect Prince Fielder, so look for Braun to be at the center of a whole of scoring action for the Brew Crew. |
| March 18, 2008 With the Brewers enjoying a needed day off on Wednesday, the team is hoping to see LF Ryan Braun back in action when the team faces the Royals on Thursday night, according to MLB.com. Braun has been nursing a tight Achilles tendon and has been a concern for Milwaukee as the regular-season approaches. He's played just once since March 11th due to the soreness in his right heel, which the team believes was brought on by a pair of rouge spikes. "Braunie should be back playing Thursday," manager Ned Yost said. "He felt better [Monday] ... and they think it was his shoes. They've got him in some orthotics that alleviate some of the [stress]. He's on the rebound. He's going to be OK." |
| March 17, 2008 Ryan Braun will miss yet another day of action Monday due to his tight Achilles tendon, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. "I don't see it as anything major," manager Ned Yost said. "I just told him, 'Let's quit fooling around with this. When it feels better, let me know.' " It will be the fifth time in the past six days that Braun won't play. Hopefully, he'll shake this off quickly and get back in action this week. |
| March 16, 2008 Ryan Braun missed another game Sunday due to lingering tightness in his right Achilles tendon, according to MLB.com. "We don't know what's bringing it on," manager Ned Yost said. "It might be a new pair of shoes that he put on. It might be an exercise program that he was doing. He's got stiffness in his Achilles and there's no sense taking chances. ... I don't see it to be anything major." It may not be major right now, but it's becoming a little concerning. Braun missed games Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and today due to the ailment. He got into Friday's game, but clearly this is something that will need to be monitored closely in the coming days. |
| March 10, 2008 Ryan Braun will bat cleanup this season behind Prince Fielder, this according to MLB.com. "They're gonna pitch around Prince, just because of Prince's intimidation factor," said manager Ned Yost. "They're not gonna pitch around Prince too long with me behind him," said Braun. While this bodes well for Fielder, it could be considered a bit of a letdown for Braun who must become more selective at the plate as pitchers will certainly try to get him to expand his already large zone with Brewers on base. |
| February 24, 2008 Ryan Braun's agent, Nez Balelo, has had preliminary discussions with Brewers assistant GM Gord Ash regarding a contract extension. "It's certainly something I am open to, but I honestly haven't thought about it too much yet," Braun told MLB.com regarding an extension. "I'm definitely not opposed to considering whatever they have to say." Braun won the NL Rookie of the Year award last season after hitting .324 with 34 homers, 97 RBI and 15 steals. He'll be making the move from third base to left field in '08. |
| February 16, 2008 Brewers general manager Doug Melvin is excited about the year ahead, and he knows one of the tougher changes will be Ryan Braun's move from third base to left field. "That will be a big challenge for him," Melvin tells the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. "He's very athletic, which helps. It'll be important for him to play (in Milwaukee) in the two (exhibition) games when we break camp, to get comfortable there." |
| January 11, 2008 With the Mike Cameron acquisition, Ryan Braun will spend most of his time in 2008 in left field - although he'll still open the year at the hot corner with Cameron being suspended for the first 25 games. It remains to be seen just how well Braun can handle the outfield, but the general thought is that his defense there can't be any worse than it was at third base. |
