As the Milwaukee Brewers prepare for what could well be a drive to win the NL Central crown, they also face the fact that this could be the last year they have slugger first baseman Prince Fielder in the house.
And, while mentioned in the same breath, or at least the same atmosphere, as Albert Pujols, there's really not a lot of comparison.
Fielder has a career negative dWAR, compared to Pujols having 10 points to the good.
Plus ... which Prince Fielder is the real one?
His defenders claim his power slump last year was due to trade rumors. But, his 2008 year was quite similar. As was 2006.
So, if he has a monster 2011, would-be suitors will have to ask which Prince Fielder, if not both, they'll get.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
