Baker: Fielder's hit on Hanigan not dirty
"There are some who thought Milwaukee's Prince Fielder took a cheap shot at Cincinnati Reds catcher Ryan Hanigan. And they thought Fielder should be sent a message - like a fastball aimed at the ear flap of his batting helmet, or at least a pitch that would send him sprawling and dirty his road grays. It happened Saturday, Sept. 20. Fielder was on second and there was a base hit to shallow center. Fielder tried to score and Hanigan had the ball waiting for him. Fielder veered inside the base line and threw an elbow toward Hanigan, but Hanigan tagged him out. Dirty play? Beyond the bounds? "Not even close," said Reds manager Dusty Baker. "That wasn't dirty baseball. That's the way you are ..."
Fielder apologizes for dugout fracas
"Prince Fielder knows better than to fight with a teammate in the dugout during a game, which is why he apologized Tuesday for his altercation the previous evening with Manny Parra. "We had a little disagreement, obviously," said the Milwaukee Brewers slugger, who wouldn't talk after the game Monday night about the incident. "I'm not going to go into the depths of what it was over. "It's something that happened. I've been playing with Manny since rookie ball. It's not like we hate each other. At least, I don't. I apologize for the way it went down. I definitely could have handled it better." The incident took place in the top of the seventh inning after Parra was removed from the game with ..."
Fielder, Parra Scuffle As Frustrated Brewers Lose
"Teams that are leading the wild-card race normally aren't consumed with frustration. But these aren't normal days for the Milwaukee Brewers. It's certainly not normal for a team to go 10 for 104 with runners in scoring position over a 13-game span. And it's hardly normal for one teammate to attack another on the bench during a game, in full view of those prying television cameras. That was the setting Monday night as the frustrated Brewers dropped a 6-3 decision to the last-place Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park. The loss was punctuated by a seventh-inning altercation between starting pitcher Manny Parra and first baseman Prince Fielder in the visiting dugout. The Brewers ..."
Working a swing shift
"When one has known nothing but success at a young age, sometimes just a peek of failure can brew doubt. And if that letdown has any longevity, pressure can build and wear on a person. Prince Fielder knows that now. During his professional baseball career, even in the minors, the 24-year-old Milwaukee Brewers first baseman has been a hit because he could hit. As the son of a former beloved slugger in one Midwestern city, Fielder had become the same a generation later in another. He finished last year as the youngest player to hit 50 home runs in a season and a first-time all-star. His path to superstardom was being paved without interference."
Fielder mum on tax issue
"If Prince Fielder still owes money to the Internal Revenue Service, he wasn't saying Wednesday. "I'm not going to comment on private matters," said the Milwaukee Brewers first baseman. On Tuesday, the Detroit News reported that Fielder owes $409,149 in federal income taxes. The newspaper produced a public-record document that showed the IRS filed a lien for that amount against Fielder on Oct. 6, 2005 in Orange County, Fla. The lien indicated that Fielder owed the back taxes from 2003, the year after the 2002 first-round draft pick received a $2.4 million signing bonus from the Brewers."
Prince Fielder Available?
"Want a surprise name that could come in the market, maybe before July 31, but almost definitely in the offseason when the Mets and Yanks could be hunting first basemen: Milwaukee's Prince Fielder. Milwaukee is blessed with a lot of offensive-centric players who could switch to first (Ryan Braun in the majors, Matt LaPorta or Mat Gamel nearly ready at Double-A). Mainly, Fielder is a Scott Boras client who almost certainly will not sign a long-term contract and the Brewers could decide his greatest value is in dealing him sooner than later while his value is highest and cost to them lowest. The Dodgers, Twins and Royals also could have interest. "It's not something I am exploring," ..."
