Prince Fielder's big-screen TV, the prize he won for being named National League Player of the Month in May, is waiting for him in the warehouse at Miller Park.

It may have company soon.

Brewers rookie third baseman Ryan Braun was named NL Player of the Month for July, it was announced today. Braun, 23, hit .34 (38 for 110) with 11 homers, three doubles, 25 RBI and 18 runs scored.

That was enough to beat out competitors like Philadelphia's Ryan Howard (.323, 10 HR, 29 RBI) and Pat Burrell (.435, 6 HR, 22 RBI); Florida's Hanley Ramirez (.424, 6 HR, 21 RBI); Jeff Kent (.447, 5 HR, 20 RBI) of the Los Angeles Dodgers; and Houston's Carlos Lee (.303, 7 HR, 19 RBI).

In addition to the 52-inch Sharp AQUOS LCD TV, Braun will win a trophy for his achievement.

Not surprisingly, Braun was also named NL Rookie of the Month for July, which will net him another trophy.
