Nice Paycheck for Braun

The Milwaukee Brewers just offered Ryan Braun a nice paycheck.  The 24-year-old has signed an eight-year deal for $45 million.  This is the priciest contract the Brewers have ever inked.

Ryan hit .324 with 34 home runs and 97 RBI’s last year, earning him the NL Rookie of the Year.  Although he started the season at third base, he was moved to left field after making 26 errors, the highest in baseball.

So far this season, his average is .287, with nine home runs and 29 RBI’s.

Nice paycheck.  Don’t spend it all in one place.
