Analysis:

Braun has been bothered off-and-on by the thumb injury over the last two seasons, but now is reportedly at full health. "Right now, I don't feel any [discomfort], and I haven't been able to say that for two years," he said. "I think I've told you guys, it [bothered him] shaking hands, writing — you know, just everyday activities. Now I don't feel it at all, so I'm excited." While Braun felt good, he also expressed caution, suggesting spring training should determine more about the condition of his thumb.
