    Prince Fielder is not going to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Dangerous, productive hitter in his prime. Career cut too short. Not a Hall of Famer.

      When you have to use his HR Derby finishes as HOF credentials – he becomes an automatic NO.

    I have to admit I don’t know the Angels farm system but I am also sure that trade proposal for both Fullmer and Castellanos seems ridiculously low for Fullmer and Castellanos.

    Offense is much more important to aquire then starting pitching for the Brewers, our starters are in the top 15 and our bullpen is ranked #4, our offense is ranked #18, too low for a playoff contender
