No ... Braun had as good of numbers playing with another MVP candidate while leading his team to the PLAYOFFS. After all the goal is to win ... not to put up the best individual numbers.We all know who the REAL NL MVP is MATT KEMP!!!!
Interestingly the 'leak' of the story may have come from the Braun 'camp' - this was suggested by Byrnes on MLB this afternoon - no substantiation just his belief based on things he had "heard".
Why would Braun leak this story? It only taints him in a negative light. The court of public opinion had no bearing on this case and certainly did not affect the outcome. Now Braun has to live with the notion that he is a possible PED user. It taints his MVP, it taints his career and a possible HOF nomination down the road (if his career continues as it has). It is a silly and ludicrious statement to make.
