When I read the news release that Dee Gordon had been named National League Rookie of the Month, I didn't get far before I realized that maybe he shouldn't have won the award. Not that I wasn't pleased for Gordon or happy with his performance, but the first player under "others receiving votes," Washington catcher Wilson Ramos, had a higher on-base percentage and slugging percentage. Now, Ramos didn't play as many games, and he didn't have Gordon's steals or his NL-high 42 hits, but it's not as if I can't see the case for the non-Dodger.So when I see that Ryan Braun has been named NL Player of the Month for September, when Braun's on-base percentage, slugging percentage, OPS, RBI and runs created were lower than those of Matt Kemp (and other players), I
Is award a case of brains vs. Braun?
