Ryan Braun was pretty awesome last season, smacking more than 30 homers and setting a career high with 20 steals.
But if you don’t draft him in 2010, that isn’t a bad thing.

Stealthy Ninjas are back on time this week, and bringing a dose of San Diego pitching with them.
I’m referring to Kevin Correia, of course. Based on his ownership rates in Yahoo leagues you have no idea who he is.
Check out the statistical performance from his last five starts: 4-1 in 33.2 IP, 29:3 K:BB and [...]
