well fuck me lol. Nice reporting

That simply isn't true. Fielder has been a DH exactly 14 times in the past 2 years. (18 in the past 4 years) while DH does impact WAR, he didn't do it nearly enough to make that much of a difference. What actually hurts him quite a bit more is that he is in reality a very poor 1st baseman with zero range. In fact,

That stat certainly does better than the home run totals, eyeball tests or name-recognition that most fans rely on.

Because fielder has done a lot of DHing and DHing doesnt not add well into WAR

Not to mention the upgrade they'll have in the field pretty much no matter who they put at third

Uhhhh, Carpenter, Kipinis, Zobrist and Utley are not exactly slouches.

Yeah but there's lot of power hitting 1st basemen. Who's really in competition at 2nd?

Kinsler's no slouch...but he's not Fielder.

Bullshit. The Vikings haven't started a quarterback in years.

Reddit user adam4283 wins the internet for including the North Stars.

It's about goddamn time.

I think these types of responses are my favorite type of comment on Deadspin.

Definitely could be interesting. His slash lines for the ALDS and ALCS are lower, but it seems like he has more memorable key hits from those games. These rounds didn't exist before 1969 though, so you can't compare to earlier players.

Brett Favre would be perfect as Smalls.

I'm sorry Christian. Not even Wendy Peffercorn is capable of resuscitating your season.

Let's just hope we never see a picture of this guy if he decides to take his talents South.
