How many millions has Fielder cost himself in the last month?

[holybannana]

Fielder brought it every game and did what he could. The league adjusted on him some and he needs to figure it out.

[GB12]

For football fans out there, Denver Broncos DE Elvis Dumervil is 5'11" 260 pounds. Start your comparions there.

Terrence Taylor is 6' 318 pounds and he has a body type that is much closer to Prince than Dumervil does.

 

This is Dumervil with his shirt off

Now I've never seen Prince topless, but I'd guess he'd look a bit different.

 

This is Terrence Taylor

i think its time for mat gamel to go buy a first basemans glove. no one in the league is a worse defensive first baseman than fielder, so gamel cant be any worse.

and again today prince continues padding his stats in "garbage time"...

I sure hope this is a joke. While I doubt we make the playoffs we are only 2.5 games back and I fail to see how this is garbage time.

[homer]

make that 1.5 back.

[owbc]

If Prince cost himself $5 million in August and early September, he's earned at least $3 million of it back in the last week. It's the end of the season and he's been one of the few Brewers who looks inspired instead of tired and out of shape.

[TuesdaysWithRillo]

I'm glad Prince is doing well because now he's worth more on the trading front.

[RockCoCougars]

I don't care what anyone says, Prince is EASILY three bills. I also could care less about what his OPS is, when is the last time he has gotten a clutch hit in a big situation (e.g. not down 8-1 or up 6-0). He seriously needs to lose the attitude and about 40 pounds or he will not be an effective player in this league anymore by the time he's 30. Dude literally and figuratively "got fat and lazy" after his big season last year.

Now THAT was a clutch hit. Prince has been making me eat my words since I made this post and I couldn't be happier.

[wisconsinfan47]

All is forgiven...

 

Alright, maybe not, but a hot stretch to end the week would be huge.

[owbc]

Prince now 1 HR shy of Ryan Braun and .09 below Braun in OPS.

[ELCABALLO45]

Prince is NOT clutch

[craigharmann]

Did he cost himself any money by untucking his jersey after rounding first, and, unintentionally, showing how much is baggy jersey, and how much is gut?

[PlayerHader]

Didn't see as much jiggle as I expected when Prince's shirt came up. Must have more of a tank than a pudge midsection.

[rluzinski]

I wish this situation could serve as an example of why you shouldn't jump to conclusions in baseball based on a quarter or even half a season. It's a very streaky sport by its nature. While it is very reasonable to suggest that Princes's weight is and will continue to have some unknown negative effect on his offensive performance, that's about all you can really say. Everything else is really just speculation.

Yeah, but I really didn't need to see this picture in the paper this morning:

[craigharmann]

OK, that's about what the size of my belly is, and I'm right at 6'0, 295. That's a scary pic. He better start eating right and taking care of himself otherwise he's going to end up like his dad, or worse, Mo Vaughn.

[Oldcity]

Another garbage time home run for Prince. Where was that earlier when a homer could have blown the game open?

[tristarscoop]

His numbers over the past 10 days or so are crazy:

 

.416/.500/1.000

[OOOverbay]

I'm happy Prince has turned his hitting around when we've needed it the most, and if he is a major reason we squeak into the playoffs, then I will happily eat most of my recent negative words about him. I still think he needs to get a personal trainer and be on a strict diet in the offseason to get back down to how he looked 2 years ago.

[hawing]

Wow, photoshop some green skin onto Prince in that photo and you have Hulk Angry!

 

Good heavens...he's sporting Brewers-logo'ed underwear, isn't he? The gut is one thing; the underwear detail is one I did not need to know.

[Fatter than Joey]

Maybe he is trying to fly, but of course he is too fat. His flapping is futile.

[CheezWizHed]

Must have been coincidence that this happened after I sent Prince a box of Omaha steaks two weeks ago. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[tristarscoop]

Hawing, they must be team issued compression shorts or something. Bill's got them on in this shot (sorry, can't get the image to load in here)

I like the caption on this picture. It sure looks like the ball is behind him. However, as I look closer, it appears it might be something that reflecting from the crowd. Like a camera flash or something.
