The Brewers have decided to call up Prince Fielder to act as a designated hitter this week.

This never would have happened had Russell Branyan been healthy, but as is, the Brewers don't have any great options at DH. Fielder will return to the minors as soon as the week is over.

I expect him to be overwhelmed this week but it must be nice for the Brew fans to see the future this week. Rickie Weeks might win the NL ROY, in my opinion

Time to trade for Overbay.

tough to say, barmes still deserves a chance at the title

If Clint is out the next three months as reported then he probably can't win. THere is a history that shows June call-ups can win (Willis) and injured players can (Bay) but Bay didn't miss all that much time.

If fielder impresses, Overbay could be on the blocks

He was hitting .253 at AAA. He won't.

I've been looking forward to this call-up for awhile now. I have been mezmorized with the Brewers system for a few years, waiting to see these cats at the big league level.

 

Unfortunately, it comes at Branyan's expense--a guy I just love to watch.

wish i could watch him play live, i am however really looking forward to bj upton and delmon young, and im yet to see weeks in live action, should be interesting to watch these young players come up

Yes, but he was also hitting much worse than that earlier this year (I think .220 or below) and has come on significantly in the last few weeks.

I'm not so sure about Upton. 25 errors in AAA so far. AWFUL!

That's true, but I still think it will take him a while to be ML ready. I'm not saying I doubt his abilities, just that he's not ready yet.

all I can think about is that huge jack he hit off of us in ST to straight center field, damn

I was at that game and it was maybe the fartherst I have ever seen someone hit a baseball in my entire life. It was absolutely crushed. Not only was it straight to center field, that wall he hit it over is enormous.

Upton is a very good shortstop, he just worries too much about gunning the ball over to first base. And as of late, his defense has improved significantly. The Devil Rays will keep him at SS and will have two future stars in Young and Upton.

 

Andy Marte was also recently called up by the Braves.

I agree, that thing was crushed. I remember thinking, oh s***, he's gonna have ALOT of those some day.

Prince had several Bombs against the Barons last year including a couple to center and a 482 Foot blast agaist Arnie Munoz.
