Ryan Braun to the Yankees?

Get a load of this Craig Williams guy trying to magic up a Yankee trade for Ryan Braun through the majesty of blog rumor. Hey I ain't mad at him. What's the old saying? Let those among us without sin cast the first stone? Well let those among us who haven't tried to talk ourselves into a massive trade happening pin a scarlett letter on Craig Williams' blog. Hell in this year alone on this blog I've claimed that the Bucks are contenders, that Prince is going to stay in Milwaukee, and that Ryan Braun has the herp. Actually I sort of feel like Craig Williams and I are bizarro world bloggers. Same delusional dreams and long winded blogs, and kick ass facial hair. Only he's a Yankee fan and I'm a Brewer fan. I'm slightly more pale too. Slightly. 

So while I can see why the Yankees, or any team for that matter, would want to add Ryan Braun's bat, there's probably a better shot of Michael Bay directing a romantic comedy than anything like this happening. Plus if you read his blog he claims that 2012 is a lost season for the Crew. And while that's true to an extent, it's also true that the NL Central is flat out BRUTAL. Like the NFC West of Major League Baseball. We've got the best rotation in the division and it's not even a debate. The Braun suspension means a lot, but I think either way 85 wins will take the division and I expect the Brewers to be right there. But here's my question for Brewer fans; excluding minor league players, what present day stars would make you THINK about trading Ryan Braun. Like let's say the Yankees offered CC and Granderson up for Braun and a prospect, if you're Doug Melvin do you think about it? Or Seattle offers Felix Hernandez and an old Ichiro for Braun? I dunno. Interesting question though. See that?! All of a sudden the Brewers are about to trade Braun for an entire roster of all stars! I can play this game too baby!

PS: Nothing I love more than buying a new sports video game and LOADING my team up with ridiculous trades that would never happen in real life. I think at one point last year I had Granderson, Ellsbury, Braun, Fielder, and Jose Bautista as my 1 through 5. Made trades for CC, Verlander and Halladay. Gallardo was pushed to middle relief my starters were so good. Basically had to close up shop on my AA and AAA teams, and put the team in such financial disrepair that Bernie Madoff would cringe. But whatever, I'm only playing one season, I don't have to worry about what happens the next season. Like Brian Cashman in real life.
