I would take my chances with Fielder everytime. Cabrera needs to get the Bonds treatment.

I said this for years with Pujols... If these are the most feared and most dangerous hitters... why aren't they being walked? Pujols career high in walks is less than Bonds was INTENTIONALLY walked in one season. Is it the lefty/righty thing?

#Mariners are first AL team to homer in 20+ consecutive games since Texas set a MLB record with a 27-game streak in 2002.

Now, if they could just hit more singles and doubles (oh, and score more runs)

100% agreed. Especially since Fielder has had multiple cold spells. I dont understand why Cabrera is given anything to hit. He just continues to make the other teams pay for it.

Davis has such an easy, smooth swing. His homers always look like easy fly balls that just keep going. Going oppo and to CF alot this year.

He probably comes up a bit short, but he has a shot at 60 homers, which is crazy for this era.
