Sure, 25-year old lefty swinging 1B Prince Fielder could afford to lose a few pounds but the extra weight he has really has never hurt him in his career. He played in all 162 games for the Brewers last season and he was 177 for 591 (.299 avg, 1.014 OPS) with 103 runs scored, 46 homers and 141 RBIs. In his first four full seasons in the majors, Fielder has averaged 95.0 runs scored, 39.5 homers and 110.8 RBIs per year. There is no reason to think that Fielder will slow down any time soon. He made 7 errors in 162 games for the Brewers at 1B and that’s not too bad.

PROJECTED GRADE FOR THE 1B IN 2010: A+
