The Brewers announced late Thursday night that Braun, 23, their top everyday prospect in the minor leagues, was being summoned from Class AAA Nashville. Club officials waited until after Braun played in the Sounds’ game against Memphis in Nashville because they wanted him to get additional at-bats after spending time recently on the disabled list.
To make room on their roster for Braun, the Brewers placed reliever Elmer Dessens on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right shoulder, retroactive to Saturday.
...
“We’re struggling right now offensively and we thought we’d give Ryan an opportunity to see if he can make an impact on the ballclub,” said Brewers general manager Doug Melvin, reached in Florida, where he was watching Class A Brevard County play.
...
“The staff [at Nashville] told me he’s playing much better defensively,” said Melvin, who saw Braun handle only two grounders earlier in the week while in Nashville to watch three games. “They feel it hasn’t been an issue. They’re not that concerned with it.”
Braun was at .342/.418/.701 and three errors… tiny sample, but vs. LHP: .516/.559/1.129

Wouldn't be a bad thing of some other guys in the lineup got their heads on straight. I am as big a Bill Hall fan as their is but he needs to turn it up a notch to justify his cleanup spot. And why Mench continues to get at bats to prove that he does indeed stink like rotten eggs is just another in a long line of Ned's fascination with somewhat portly, no-talent Caucasions who needlessly take up space.

You rang?
It's a scary young lineup being constructed at the top of the Central.
You rang?
Bah, he only got ~50 ABs that one year... it's not like he stuck around the majors for a lengthy period.
