Fielder FactorInteresting stats, Ferrari. But do you happen to have some stats for Fielder when Braun isn't batting in front of him? I can't imagine that they would look much better. These two guys depend on each other. For now, I'm okay with that. |

Fielder FactorAnd to think I got laughed at here last season when I said Hardy's fast start in 2007 was due to hitting in front of Prince. It would be interesting to see what Hardy did last season in the 2 hole when Prince was hitting 3rd, which was before Braun was called up. |
