Nobody thinks Gamel can replace Fielder's production. He can replace part of Fielder's production and the rest can be made up in other areas. Mainly SS and 3B. Fielder is one of the worst 1B in the league. Without knowing anything about Gamel we could safely assume he would be an improvement on defense. WE know a little more than that. Mainly that he is athletic, compared to Fielder, and most of his problems on defense are problems throwing. Moving him to 1B puts him where he will not have to throw much. That's what I would do. That would be the goal anyway. I don't think Saito and Hawkins will return.
