Was he actually part of the Rule 5(meaning he HAS to stay on the roster) or just part of a trade as reported with Texas, after the Rule 5 draft? He could be a great role player for this team as a 4th or 5th OF. I could see him as a valuable late inning defensive replacement for Thames in LF, or this could pave the way for a Thames trade(not that I want that....but I digress), or a perfect pinch runner in a tight pitchers duel late in the game.

I will always remember April 2006 when WDFN said that you were on track to hit 300 home runs "conservatively". Good luck in Texas “Red Pop”.

I think he got all full of himself with that big April and started telling the coaches how he was going to do things and tuned them out. That would explain both the hitting nosedive and the way the team soured on him. I think something happened in Shelton’s mind.

One rumor has them considering Iguchi at 3B. Braun is a train wreck defensively at 3B and the Brewers have already openly discussed the possibility of trying to move him to LF.

He'd fallen far out of favor in Detroit for whatever reason, but he's still a .300 hitter as a pro (major/minor combined). I always liked him and wish him well. Good luck to Big Red.
