So far you have to consider Prince Fielder an NL MVP Candidate.

Fielder has been absolutley amazing this season. Although some people expected him to have big numbers like this at some point, I dont think they anticipated it this early. He has been astoudning. Hes currently batting .299 with 21 HRs and 48 RBIS, hes also slugging .647. Apart from that he has help keep his brewers(to my dissatifcation) in the lead in the NL Central. The brewers could ill-afford to have him missing from the lineup because they would be missing so much produciton. Fielder doesnt show any signs of slowing down and definltey has to be considered and NL MVP Canidate so far.


Great argument, he certainly does have the numbers to support it. But the debate isn't whether he should win in based on numbers, but is he an MVP candidate? I say NO...why not? Because unfortunately, he hasn't shown the consistency that superstars show. If he finishes with MVP like number this year and does it again next year, he's a candidate. Unfortunately, the writers are going to take a wait and see attitude, show me a bit more. Is it fair? heck No, but when has MVP voting been fair?


Well if he can lead to the Brewers to the playoffs and keep putting up astronomical numbers he defintley has to be considered one, I mean a batting average hovering right around .300 already 21 homers and 48 RBIs, with his slugging percentage. Without him the brewers would suffer a huge loss. Hes defintley a candidate.


Oh yeah i agree with you on every argument, and he SHOULD be an MVP candidate, but i don't think he'll even be considered for the award regardless simply because there are other (Pujols, Howard, Lee) who've done it before. He simply won't be considered a candidate till year 2, it's just POLITICS


I think he will be considered for it, I mean look at Ryan Howard last year, and his team didnt even make the playoffs, its almost the same scenario, a young power-hitting first baseman making his mark.


I certainley hope so, Cecil Fielder is one of my favs...the guy's built just like his father!!
I just think with the politics involved it will really come down to the top 3-4 regulars
1) Pujols
2) Delgado (needs to pick it up a bit though)
3) Maybe Howard if he picks it up
4) Both D and C Lee
