When I heard that the Detroit Tigers had traded Prince Fielder to the Texas Rangers for Ian Kinsler last off-season, I thought it would be one of the most lopsided trades ever. I argued Fielder would give the Rangers much needed power while Kinsler would continue his offensive decline in Detroit. I wrote, that “the Rangers would have a field day over this one. Or perhaps even a Fielder day.” For good measure, I noted that Fielder had played 505 consecutive games. “O.K., so he won’t be threatening Cal Ripken, Jr. anytime soon, but Ron Washington can comfortably pencil in Fielder’s name in the lineup everyday.”
