Milwaukee Brewers left fielder Ryan Braun has managed to avoid lengthy trips to the DL this year. The problem is that when he’s in the lineup, he hasn’t made much of an impact. Is it time for Braun to move into a part-time role?
What do the numbers say about Braun this year?
He’s on pace for the a sub 1.0-WAR season. In 2013, Braun only played 61 games, but still managed a 1.7 WAR.
Braun owns a .245/.294/.440 slash line. Those numbers represent his career low in batting average, on-base percentage, and slugging percentage.
