Braun only played 113 games. Let me repeat that, 113 GAMES. I like Tulo, I really do, he helped win my fantasy league with his awesome second half. Braun was unstoppable this year. Check out his prorated 162 games stats for this year, he would have hit 49 HRs and knocked in 139 runs. Yes, I know it's just prorated and didn't actually happen, but even if equaled half of his prorated output he still would have blown Tulo out of the water offensively. Defense, it-s a-no good, but he'll learn. And Tulo looks too much like captain intangibles playing short, i.e. that flashy BS "jump throw" for that reason alone he should have been denied the gold glove and the rookie of the year awards. ummmmmm … Braun only played 113 games.

Not only did he put up great offensive numbers, but he anchored the best defense in history. His teammates also referred to him as the captain of the team. Not bad for a rookie. Should have gotten Gold Glove, should have gotten ROY. Tulowitzki is cleary a better all-around player than Braun.
