I have been one of the loudest advocates for getting rid of Prince Fielder since his dugout tantrum that could have hurt Manny Parra...and have voiced my
opinion here and there on several threads. There are others that want to see Hall/Counsell booted away from 3rd (booted...just works with Hall). Some are
ready to get Corey Hart out of MKE. Then, finally, there is the group that is skewering Rickie Weeks. Lets just put it in one place to discuss it instead of
in all of the other various threads.
Which two Brewers position players would you ship out if you had the authority (and could get a reasonable return). You really don't need to come up with trade ideas here...just let us know who needs to go (leave the GM'ing up to Doug Melvin...and that).
I'll start:
1. Prince Fielder needs to be in the American League. He is horrible on defense and will not get any better as long as his weight keeps going up. I also think that his "intensity" and "grit" are bad for the clubhouse because he doesn't use them in a positive way. He throws tantrums, attacks other players and carries it out on the field with him. Bad dude with a worse attitude. I'd also like to add the Boras factor to my list.
2. Bill Hall needs to be traded to a team that needs an everyday shortstop. Even though his numbers were horrid in 2008 he still has a bunch of value at short. He is still athletic enough to play the position and I think that he would just be more comfortable there in the long run. To me, it seems like he has been lost with all of the shuffling on the diamond. Get him back to his original position and let him work everything else out.
