Braun underwent an offseason procedure on his thumb to get rid of nerve issues and is looking forward to spring training.

“I feel good. I’m only 31; I should be good,” Braun said. “I expect to go out there and be one of the best players in the league.”

“I’ve been able to do everything I would typically do over the course of an offseason, which is encouraging,” Braun continued. “Hopefully I’ll be healthy. But aside from that, I don’t think I’ll be limited or anything. I’ll have to be conscious about how many extra swings I take and stuff like that, but aside from that I should be able to do everything.”

The 2011 MVP struggled last season and finished with a .266 batting average, 19 homers, and 81 RBIs.

Braun’s struggles last season was a major part of the Brewers’ giving away the N.L. Central and watching the playoffs from home.

“When you show up this year, you know you can’t do anything about last year. None of us can change what happened. We wish things would have ended differently than they did but they didn’t,” Braun said. “Hopefully, the focus is on this year and doing everything we can to prepare the best that we can every day to be successful and to get off to a good start in April.”
