Brewers Looking to Move A Prince?

The Milwaukee Brewers are fielding offers for star first baseman, Prince Fielder.

Fielder is having a rough 1st half of the season, although the power is still there with 19 homeruns, a low RBI total, 38 and a .266 batting average has sprung up trade talks. More of a factor is the price tag Fielder would command in the offseason when he becomes a free agent. Many believe Milwaukee will not be able to sign him back and are looking to get something for him now.

But where can he go? What would be the best fit for Prince Fielder?

Prince is not a terrible first baseman but maybe a DH spot in the AL would be more fitting. So lets take a look at teams that could use a power bat to put them over the top in the 2nd half of the MLB season.

1. Tampa Bay Rays - The Rays are dangerous right now and will be fighting the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox for the AL East crown all year. Adding Prince to a line up with Crawford, Zobrist, Longoria, Upton, Pena would be an amazing fit. He could spell Pena at first, and hit homers all the time in the dome. Yes he more than likely would be a rental player for them but it would give them a great shot to win the AL East.

2. Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim - The loss of Kendry Morales was a tough one to swallow and he may not be back all year. The Angels are in a world of hurt at the 1B position and could use a power bat to supplement the loss of Morales. Along with Hunter, Abreu, Matsui, Fielder would help them beat the Rangers in the AL West.

3. Chicago White Sox - A team in the thick of things in the AL Central they could use a bat to ward off the Detroit Tigers and Minnesota Twins. Fielder could provide excellent protection around Paul Konerko who is having a great year, Carlos Quentin and Alex Rios.

Prince Fielder would be a great asset for any team, and could put them in prime contention to win a ring this year. Fielder will certainly look to have a better 2nd half, but I have a feeling if he continues to crush baseballs, teams, especially in the AL will take the sacrifice.
