The timing is kind of funny here.  It was almost as if the Brewers were waiting for Braun to show his power stroke before they made the committal.  I suppose 5 HRs in three or so days was good enough evidence for them.

Compared to Jeff Suppan's $40+ million deal a year or so ago, this reeks of brilliance.
