Boston was dealing with injuries to its outfielding corps and needed to accommodate for the hot-hitting bats of Kevin Youkilis and Will Middlebrooks, who both play third base primarily.

By Joan Niesen FOXSportsNorth.com MINNEAPOLIS It's nails on a chalkboard. It's jarring. It's more screech than laugh, the kind of sound that shatters glass in cartoon. It's too high-pitched to be gruff, too giddy to be the shriek of a grown man. And yet there Prince Fielder sat after the Detroit Tigers' 10-6 win over the Twins on Friday, his impossible laughter...

Prince Fielder's Recent Hot Streak Further Validation That He's One of Game's Best Sluggers

Editor's note: The temperature gauge is a Bill James-created statistic that measures how hot or cold hitters are. We will spotlight Red Sox and opposing team temperatures on game days. While Albert Pujols struggled early on this season, Prince Fielder has been fantastic since the beginning of the year. That's not to say the Angels made a bad move in inking Pujols to a monster...

Prince Fielder: Getting Hot

When the Detroit Tigers came out of nowhere and signed arguably the biggest free-agent next to Albert Pujols, so much hype was built around this team and Prince Fielder. Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder in the same line up, in a weak division? Sorry the rest of the AL Central, don’t even go to Spring Training because [...]
