First it was Albert Pujols.  Now, it’s Prince Fielder.  For the Arizona Diamondbacks part, they can now say goodbye to both, as both have spurned the National League for the American League.  With Pujols leaving for the Los Angeles Angels earlier in the off-season, now we have yesterday when Fielder left for the Detroit Tigers.  You remember Fielder, right?  He’s the one fans couldn’t give up the obsession of booing for leaving Justin Upton out of the Home Run Derby, at every at bat in the All-Star Game and subsequent visits to Chase Field with the Milwaukee Brewers, including the playoffs.  Both players had their moments against the Dbacks over the years.

Fielder is getting a lot of money to leave for the AL.  Quite honestly, I was a little surprised to see him land in Detroit, even with the history his dad has there and with the Washington Nationals chasing hard after him.  That also is now another big bat first baseman to leave the NL.
