Still, it's one of the strangest cases ever. Braun's stats never jumped. I honestly don't know what to think.

On edit: What I don't understand is MLB's statement. I mean, if you're willing to go with arbitration, then you agree to go with it. There is no point in saying "we disagree with it," after the fact.

Maybe it's some Milwaukee curse coming back to bite the bozo commissioner.
