RockRaines Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 roto 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.

Punch and Judy Garland Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punch and Judy Garland Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AddisonStSox Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 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.

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.

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.

It was absolutely crushed. Not only was it straight to center field, that wall he hit it over is enormous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 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.
