Newsbreakers

November 20, 2009

Sports Illustrated's Jon Heyman is reporting that the Brewers intend to lock-up superstar first baseman Prince Fielder this offseason.

Our View:

Prince had another monster year in 2009, bashing 46 home runs to go along with a major league leading 141 RBI. While the Brewers are small market, they drew over three million fans in 2009, and are believed to have the cash to keep Fielder in Wisconsin for a long time.

October 4, 2009

Prince Fielder blasted two solo home runs in a 9-7, ten-inning win over the Cardinals on Sunday. He finished the day 3-for-5 with three RBI as the Brew Crew finished off the series sweep.

Our View:

Fielder ended his season with a .299 average, 46 home runs and a major league best 141 RBI. He would be a fantastic choice for NL MVP honors if it weren't for a man named Albert Pujols.

September 30, 2009

Prince Fielder socked his 44th home run on Wednesday, but couldn't stop the Brewers from losing 10-6 in Colorado.

Our View:

He extended his career-best, and National League co-leading, RBI total to 138 in the process.

September 25, 2009

Prince Fielder went 2-for-4 with four RBI and two runs scored in tonight's 8-4 win over the Phillies at Miller Park. He hit a single and a three-run homer off Cliff Lee.

Our View:

Fielder swatted a homer in four of his last six games, and has 43 for 2009, tying Mark Reynolds and ranking only behind Albert Pujols (47) for the MLB lead. He continues to pace the majors with 136 RBI.

September 23, 2009

Prince Fielder drove in two runs on Wednesday night to move ahead of Albert Pujols in the National League RBI race, as the Brewers beat the Cubs 3-2 at home.

Our View:

He now has a career-best 131 on the season.

September 22, 2009

Prince Fielder hit his 41st home run of the season in the Brewers 7-2 loss to the Cubs on Tuesday. It was his only hit in five trips.

Our View:

Fielder also recorded his 129th RBI to keep pace with the Cardinals Albert Pujols for the league lead. He's having an MVP caliber season.

September 19, 2009

Prince Fielder drove in his 127th run this season with a sacrifice fly in the Brewers 7-2 win over the Astros on Saturday. He was 1-for-4 on the day.

Our View:

The RBI set the franchise record for most in a season by Brewer. The former record holder, Cecil Cooper, was in attendance, managing the Astros. Fielder is now tied for the major league lead with Albert Pujols.

September 13, 2009

Prince Fielder hit his 39th home run in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Diamondbacks. The bomb was a solo shot off Max Scherzer and he finished 2-for-4 on the day.

Our View:

Fielder is still holding onto his slim lead in the RBI race over Albert Pujols. He now has 126 on the season, two more than the big man in St. Louis. The MVP seems to already belong to Albert, but Fielder will still get a nice amount of votes this year, as he well should.

September 8, 2009

Prince Fielder thought he was setting the tone on Tuesday night, hitting his 38th home run in the first inning of the Brewers' contest with the Cardinals, but Albert Pujols and Matt Holliday would both homer late, spurring St. Louis to a 4-3 road win.

Our View:

Fielder still has the edge on Pujols for the National League RBI lead, however, with his 125 being four more than Albert's total.

September 6, 2009

Prince Fielder did in the Giants on Sunday, hitting his 37th home run in the 12th inning, as Milwaukee won 2-1 at home.

Our View:

He upped his major league leading RBI total to 123 in the process.

September 5, 2009

Prince Fielder went 1-for-3 with a double and an RBI in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Giants at Miller Park.

Our View:

Fielder collected an RBI in each of his last three games, and continues to pace the majors with 122 for the season.

August 29, 2009

Prince Fielder drew a bases-loaded walk for his 120th RBI on Saturday, helping the Brewers past the Pirates 7-3 at home.

Our View:

The 120 RBI tie a career-high for Fielder - a mark he should now break by about 25 or 30.

August 28, 2009

Prince Fielder launched yet another home run on Friday, this one a three runner in the first inning, helping the Brewers outslug the Pirates 8-6 at home.

Our View:

Fielder's 118 RBI lead the major leagues, and are just one off his career-high of 119 from 2007.

August 27, 2009

Prince Fielder drove in three runs to increase his league-leading RBI total to 115 on Thursday, but it wasn't enough, as the Brewers lost 8-5 to the Reds at home.

Our View:

Prince is now just four RBI off of his career high of 119 from 2007, and if he keeps hitting the way he has been hitting, he could be looking at a 140-150 RBI season.

August 26, 2009

Prince Fielder homered and knocked in his 111th and 112th RBI on Wednesday, but the Brewers still lost 4-3 in ten innings to the Reds at home.

Our View:

Fielder's 112 RBI lead the major leagues, and he would be getting strong MVP consideration were it not for the Brewers' second half swoon.

August 21, 2009

Prince Fielder hit his 33rd home run in the Brewers' 7-3 win over the Nationals on Friday. The two-run shot was his only hit in five at-bats.

Our View:

Fielder now has four homers in his last five games and currently leads the Major Leagues with 110 RBI.

August 18, 2009

Prince Fielder hit his 32nd home run in the Brewers' 5-2 loss to the Pirates on Tuesday. The solo shot was his only hit in four at-bats.

Our View:

The Brewers are falling apart at the seams, but Fielder keeps raking. He now leads the majors with 108 RBI and is currently tops the great Albrt Pujols by three.

August 17, 2009

Prince Fielder went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored in tonight's 9-5 loss at Pittsburgh. He hit a single and a solo homer off Kevin Hart.

Our View:

Fielder extended his hitting streak to nine games, and has five homers and 12 RBI over the span. He continues to lead the majors with 107 RBI as well.

August 15, 2009

Prince Fielder helped lead the Brewers in tonight's 6-2 win over the Astros at Miller Park, as he went 2-for-2 with an RBI. He had two singles and also drew two walks.

Our View:

Fielder extended his hitting streak to seven games, and continues to pace the Brew Crew with 103 RBI and 29 homers.

August 13, 2009

Prince Fielder provided some fireworks for the Brewers on Thursday, hitting two solo bombs as the Brew Crew outslugged San Diego 12-9 at home.

Our View:

Those two RBI also pulled him into a tie with Albert Pujols for the MLB lead at 102. It should be a great race between the two sluggers down the stretch.

August 12, 2009

Prince Fielder got to 100 RBI on Wednesday night, but the Brewers still lost 6-5 to the Padres at home.

Our View:

Even while the Brewers keep losing games, Fielder keeps knocking in runs. Expect both trends to continue.

August 8, 2009

Prince Fielder blasted his 27th homer and drove in three in a 3-for-6 effort during Saturday's 12-5 crushing of the Houston Astros.

Our View:

Fielder now has 98 RBI on the season and trails the great Albert Pujols by just two for the Major League lead. He's driven in seven runs this month.

August 6, 2009

According to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Major League Baseball has decided not to suspend Prince Fielder for his actions against the Dodgers Tuesday.

Our View:

Fielder and Mota will pay undisclosed fines, but it's surprising that neither of them or Joe Torre will face any additional reprimand. Torre orders the plunking, Mota executes it and Fielder tries to break into the Dodger clubhouse and beat up the entire organization. The results are surprising, but at least no one was caught injecting steroids. Feel free to keep Fielder in your lineup.

August 6, 2009

A day after nearly setting off an international incident, Prince Fielder had a largely quiet game against the Dodgers, as the Brewers won 4-1. He did manage to drive in a run and steal a base, however.

Our View:

With 95, Prince is now just two RBI behind Albert Pujols for the major league lead. Hope that he doesn't get suspended for Tuesday night's shenanigans if you have him in your league.

August 5, 2009

Prince Fielder could be fined or suspended for charging the Dodgers clubhouse on Tuesday night, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Our View:

Fielder's ugly act will more than likely bring some sort of MLB reprimand. While he has become one of the most prolific power hitters in all of baseball, this is the second straight year in which he's had an unflattering incident, and he might not become truly great until he learns to keep his emotions intact (though all the home runs he's hit might disagree).

August 2, 2009

Prince Fielder went 1-for-4 with a solo homer off Clayton Richard in tonight's 4-2 loss at San Diego.

Our View:

Fielder leads the Brewers with 26 homers and is tied with Albert Pujols for the MLB lead with 92 RBI. The elite slugger should continue to perform up to high expectations for fantasy owners as long as he stays healthy.

July 21, 2009

Prince Fielder provided all the offense as the Brewers and Pirates faced off Tuesday night, going 2-for-4 with two RBI as Milwaukee won 2-0 on the road.

Our View:

Prince now has two home runs and eight RBI since the All-Star break, and appears poised for a huge second half.

July 20, 2009

Tonight's game between the Brewers and Pirates at PNC Park has been delayed due to bursts of thunder and lightning, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.

Our View:

The source has not heard of an estimated start time. The starting pitchers are Mike Burns and Ross Ohlendorf.

July 19, 2009

Prince Fielder continued his torrid hitting on Sunday, going 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI, but it wasn't enough, as Milwaukee ace Yovani Gallardo couldn't keep runners off base, and the Brewers lost 5-3 in Cincinnati.

Our View:

Prince continues to trail only Albert Pujols in the NL home run and RBI derby, and should keep putting up huge numbers as the season progresses.

July 16, 2009

Prince Fielder carried over his momentum from the home run derby and All-Star Game on Thursday, going 1-for-3 with two runs scored and a three run homer. The Brewers beat the Reds 9-6 in Cincinnati.

Our View:

Fielder is second to only Albert Pujols in the major leagues in RBI this season, with 81, and has rebounded nicely from a below average 2008 by his standards.

July 14, 2009

Prince Fielder went 1-for-1 with a double and an RBI in tonight's 4-3 loss to the American League in the All-Star Game at Busch Stadium.

Our View:

Fielder did a good job representing the NL after winning the Home Run Derby Monday night. The squad only had five hits in the game, and Fielder's double was their lone knock for extra bases.

July 13, 2009

Prince Fielder has won the 2009 Home Run Derby, according to the live broadcast on ESPN. Several of his homers went over 450 feet, and he edged Nelson Cruz 6-5 in the final round.

Our View:

This marks Fielder's first win in the HR Derby. He is tied for fourth in the majors with 22 homers at the All-Star break. He also managed to beat out Albert Pujols in his home at Busch Stadium.

July 11, 2009

Prince Fielder went 2-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored in tonight's 6-3 win over the Dodgers at Miller Park. He hit a single and a double.

Our View:

Fielder has a hit in four straight games, and now leads the Brewers with a .315 batting average. He also continues to pace the club with 22 homers and 78 RBI.

July 5, 2009

Prince Fielder went 2-for-4 with a solo homer off Ted Lilly in Sunday's 8-2 loss at the Cubs. His other knock was a single.

Our View:

He has two homers over five games in July, and leads the Brewers with 22 for the season. He also paces the club with 76 RBI, which currently ranks second in the NL.

July 2, 2009

Prince Fielder went 2-for-4 with a solo homer off Ryan Dempster in tonight's 9-5 loss at Chicago. His other knock was a double.

Our View:

Fielder has a hit in six straight games, with three homers over the span. He has 21 homers for the season, with tonight's coming at the friendly confines of Wrigley Field.

June 30, 2009

Prince Fielder went 2-for-4 with a solo homer off ace Johan Santana in tonight's 6-3 win over the Mets at Miller Park. His other hit was a single.

Our View:

Fielder now has 20 homers, with eight coming in June. He is currently tied for second (with Albert Pujols) in the NL with 74 RBI as well.

June 27, 2009

Prince Fielder jacked his 19th home run of the season against San Francisco on Saturday, finishing 2-for-5 with four RBI on the day.

Our View:

After a slow start, Fielder has gotten back to his home run-bashing ways and remains one of the best first baseman, and power hitters at any spot of the field, in the game.

June 25, 2009

Prince Fielder hit his 18th home run of the season on Thursday afternoon, but the Brewers fell 6-5 to the Twins in Milwaukee.

Our View:

Fielder had been in a mini home run slump, having only hit one in the past seven games, but is still very much one of the National League's hottest home run hitters and run producers this season.

June 19, 2009

Prince Fielder went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and three RBI in Friday's 10-4 loss at Detroit. Hit other hit was a single.

Our View:

Fielder hit his team-leading 17th homer, with five coming so far in June. He leads the NL with 67 RBI as well.

June 16, 2009

Prince Fielder picked up two more hits in the Brewers 7-5 victory over Cleveland on Tuesday night, and now has 21 in 15 games in June.

Our View:

Fielder also led the National League in RBIs going into Tuesday night's game with 62. He has bounced back nicely after a down year in 2008.

June 15, 2009

Prince Fielder carried the Brewers in Monday's 14-12 win at Cleveland, as he went 2-for-3 with six RBI. He hit a grand slam and a double.

Our View:

Fielder snapped a seven-game skid without a homer, and did it dramatically with the grand slam. He leads the club with 16 homers, and should remain a strong source for power in fantasy leagues.

June 6, 2009

Prince Fielder launched two homers on Saturday night in the Brewers' 3-0 win over the Braves. Fielder was 2-for-3 on the evening with the two homers, two runs scored, and two RBI.

Our View:

Prince carried the Brewers' offense tonight, which he is capable of doing with his massive power. He has his average up to .299, and he is a very solid fantasy first baseman at this point. The power will be there, but if he keeps his average up anywhere close to .300 this season he will be a top option.

June 4, 2009

Prince Fielder performed well in Thursday's 4-3 loss at Florida, as he went 3-for-4 with three RBI. He hit a two-run homer, a triple and a single.

Our View:

Milwaukee only had seven hits in the game, and Fielder was their only source of scoring. He has a four-game hitting streak, and collected his team-leading 13th homer of the season.

May 30, 2009

Prince Fielder went 3-for-4 with three RBI in Saturday's 9-5 win over the Reds at Miller Park.

Our View:

The slugger homered in back-to-back games, and hit 10 of his 12 homers in May. Seven of his home runs came at Miller Park.

May 29, 2009

Prince Fielder ripped a two run homer in Friday's 3-2 win over the Reds. It was his only hit in three at-bats.

Our View:

Fielder now has 11 bombs on the season, and while he's not the player many expected him to be after his 50 home run season in 2007, he's still a power threat and a decent option at first base in mixed leagues. Still, owners are looking for a bit more.

May 18, 2009

Prince Fielder was 1-for-1 with an RBI, a run scored and four walks as the Brewers defeated the Cardinals 8-4 on Monday. The Cardinals walked 11 batters on the night.

Our View:

Fielder's 40 strike outs do not look so bad when placed next to his 34 walks (1st in the NL). Still, if he can start putting more balls in play and striking out less, his numbers could be scary. His 36 RBI already ranks him second in the NL.

May 17, 2009

Prince Fielder hit a three-run shot in Sunday's 8-2 win over the Cardinals. It was his only hit in four at bats, but he did draw a walk.

Our View:

Fielder has four home runs in his last five games, and he has 10 RBI in that stretch. Fielder is heating up along with the Brewers, and the longer they remain in first place, the longer he figures to remain hot.

May 12, 2009

Prince Fielder knocked two out of the park in a 3-for-4 effort on Tuesday night as the Brewers doubled up the Marlins 6-3. He drove in for in the game.

Our View:

Fielder has struggled this season, but Tuesday's game was a big step forward. He's now hitting .272 with seven homers and 29 RBI. It's still not the production fantasy owners expect out of the big first baseman, but he's getting there.

May 7, 2009

Prince Fielder had a good night at the plate for the Brewers on Thursday, going 3-for-3 with a double, a run, and two RBI. It wasn't enough, however, as the Brewers fell to the Reds 6-5.

Our View:

The Prince was big (no pun intended) for the Crew tonight. He didn't go deep, but he was a force at the plate. His average is up to .280 now, and he is showing he can do more than just hit homers. He needs to start hitting more homers, but at least he can hit when he's not bombing.

May 3, 2009

Prince Fielder didn't see a lot of hittable pitches on Sunday, but he found one he liked and belted it out of the park for his fourth home run. He finished the day 1-for-1 with three walks as the Brewers beat the D-Backs 4-3.

Our View:

Fielder has struggled in the average department so far this season, but his power numbers are still decent. Four homers and 19 RBI aren't ideal Fielder numbers, but they're also not numbers that give fantasy owners fits. Still, he needs to improve on the .247 average.

May 2, 2009

Prince Fielder went 1-for-3 with a single and notched the Brewers' lone RBI in Saturday's 4-1 loss to Arizona at Miller Park.

Our View:

Fielder has gone seven games without a home run, but chipped in two RBI over the three games against the Diamondbacks.

April 27, 2009

Prince Fielder was 2-for-4 with a triple, two RBI, a walk and a strikeout in the Brewers 10-5 win over the Pirates on Monday.

Our View:

Fielder has at least one triple in each of the past four years. Normally that may not be worth mentioning, but for a man of his girth, we find it impressive.

April 25, 2009

Prince Fielder went 3-for-5 with two home runs, a walk, three runs scored, three RBI, and two strikeouts as the Brewers beat Houston 9-8 in 11 innings on Saturday. His second home run was a two-run shot in the ninth off of closer Jose Valverde.

Our View:

Fielder already has 21 strikeouts and 11 walks through 60 at bats this season. Despite a slow start, he has seven hits and seven RBI in his last four games. He appears to be breaking out of the slump.

April 23, 2009

Prince Fielder went 2-for-4 with three RBI in Thursday's 6-1 win at the Phillies. He hit a single and a double.

Our View:

Fielder did not register an RBI over his first two games in the series against the Phillies, but made up for it with three in today's win.

April 12, 2009

MLB.com reports that Reed Johnson robbed Prince Fielder of a potential grand slam in Sunday's 8-5 Cubs win. Fielder finished the game 1-for-3 with an RBI, a walk, and a strikeout.

Our View:

Unfortunately for Fielder's owners and the Brewers, Johnson is a very strong defensive outfielder. After the first week, the first baseman is hitting .250 with a home run, two doubles, and four RBI. He has also drawn six walks against eight strike outs.

April 11, 2009

Prince Fielder doubled and homered in a losing effort for the Brewers on Saturday as they fell to the Cubs 6-5. He drove in two and drew a pair of walks as well.

Our View:

It probably seemed a lot longer than four games for Fielder to hit his first home run of the season, but that's all it was. People who snagged him in the first round are sweating bullets and praying for more production soon. Don't worry, it will come.

March 30, 2009

Prince Fielder was 1-for-3 with a home run, two RBI, a run scored, and a strikeout in Monday's 9-7 win over the Mariners.

Our View:

This was his fifth home run of the spring and he is hitting .274. Prince finished last season in a flurry, and there's a good chance that he improves on his 34 home runs and 102 RBI in 2009.

March 25, 2009

Prince Fielder went 2-for-5 with a home run, two RBI, and two runs scored as the Brewers beat the Dodgers 12-8 on Wednesday.

Our View:

He will frustrate you with his streaks but wow you with his power numbers and drive up your point totals again this year. He will strike out a lot but if he can stay consistent for a good Brewers lineup he could have an even better year this season.

March 16, 2009

Prince Fielder was 1-for-4 with a triple, an RBI, and a run scored as the Brewers beat the Cubs 9-6 on Monday.

Our View:

Fielder actually logged two triples in 2008, which should shock you. The big fella has slugged well this spring and if he remains as focused as he was last September, he could be in line for a breakout season. However it's a long season, and Fielder is prone to slumps - and hot streaks.

March 15, 2009

Prince Fielder was 1-for-2 with a solo home run in the Brewers 6-3 win over the Indians on Sunday. It was his third home run in 28 spring at-bats.

Our View:

This is a nice pace for the slugger. He seems to be a good bet to at least reach the 34 home run mark he met last season, but he could be in line to increase that total. Although overshadowed by Ryan Howard, Fielder slugged over .600 last September under a great deal of pressure.

March 13, 2009

Prince Fielder hit his second home run of Cactus League play Friday against Zack Greinke of the Royals. He finished the Brewers' win 2-for-3 with three RBI.

Our View:

Fielder hit his second homer in as many days and now looks to be separating from the funk that has gripped him so far in exhibition play.

March 12, 2009

Prince Fielder hit his first home run of spring on Thursday, a two-run shot in the seventh inning against San Diego.

Our View:

While he's been a paltry 5-for-23 (.217 batting average) thus far, he has drawn five walks, helping to account for a .438 on-base percentage. Hopefully the home run will help jump-start the power.

February 28, 2009

Prince Fielder went 2-of-3 in Saturday's spring game with an RBI.

Our View:

Fielder is only hitting .222 so far in the Cactus League, but as long as his power stroke starts to make appearances, the Brewers will be fine.

January 24, 2009

Brewers.com reports that the deal between the Brewers and first baseman Prince Fielder has become official.

Our View:

There has been a number of different numbers thrown out, but the deal is for a total of $18 million: $6.5 million in 2009 and $11.5 million in 2010 - plus a $1 million signing bonus.

January 24, 2009

The Denver Post reports that the contract Prince Fielder signed with the Brewers is for two years with a $1 million signing bonus and $6.5 million in salary this season and $10.5 million next.

Our View:

Fielder also has incentives in his deal for certain performances, though some are unlikely to happen. For example, he gets $50,000 should he win the Gold Glove.

January 22, 2009

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports that Prince Fielder has passed his physical making his two-year extension official. It is believed he will make $7 million next season and $11 million in 2010.

Our View:

Fielder hit .276 with 34 home runs and 102 RBI last season while appearing in 159 games. Similar production could be expected this season, although he did hit 50 homers in 2007.

January 22, 2009

Prince Fielder has agreed to a two-year deal with the Brewers worth $18 million, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. The new deal is pending a physical.

Our View:

Fielder will have his last arbitration year in 2011, after which he'll be eligible for free agency. Fielder has crushed 112 homers over his last three campaigns with Milwaukee, with a high of 50 coming in 2007.

January 21, 2009

The Brewers are reportedly working on a two-year deal with Prince Fielder, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. It would likely be worth between $18-20 million.

Our View:

Fielder expressed his frustration with his contract just being renewed before the 2008 season, so the fact that he's trying to avoid a year-to-year basis with the Brewers isn't surprising. We'll keep you posted as the situation develops.

January 20, 2009

Prince Fielder is not likely to be dealt and is expected to be the Brewers' starting first baseman in 2009, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. GM Doug Melvin shot down the rumors that the club was looking to trade Fielder, as Melvin said, "I have never talked to clubs about trading Prince, no team has called me about Prince."

Our View:

The slugger is under contract with the Brewers for the next three seasons, but seems likely to test free agency as he turned down a $60 million, five-year offer last season.

January 12, 2009

The Brewers are looking at re-establishing a Latin American academy in the Dominican Republic, according to the Brewers' official site.

Our View:

Milwaukee is currently the only major league club without a permanent academy in Latin America, which has been a very productive source of prospects for big league clubs, especially in recent years.

January 9, 2009

Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports suggests that the Brewers could deal Prince Fielder for a top pitcher, and then replace Fielder's bat with Adam Dunn.

Our View:

This is purely speculation, but the Brewers really do need to upgrade their rotation with the losses of CC Sabathia and likely Ben Sheets.

January 5, 2009

It will be difficult for the Brewers to avoid an arbitration hearing with Prince Fielder, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.

Our View:

Fielder expressed irritation last year after having his contract renewed opposed to being signed to a long-term deal, so it would be hard to see Fielder settling for anything other than a long-term deal before an arbitration hearing.

January 1, 2009

The Nationals are interested in Prince Fielder as they're still searching for a left-handed power hitter, according to MLB.com.

Our View:

It's doubtful that the Brewers would trade Fielder unless they could get a package which absolutely blows them away. He's one of the biggest left-handed power threats in the National League.
