guide has him listed at 6' 262#. There is no way in hell he is only 262#. He looks around 310#. This guy is huge. Way bigger than his dad Cecil was at his young age of 23. Prince needs to lose some weight, or he won't be around to see 30. His agent and the Brewers should have a talk with him. It is the responsibility of the organizations to ask their players to be slim. A lot of times there are clauses in their contracts to not go over a certain weight. They should do the same with umps. The MLB media guide is a joke. They have David Wells listed at 6' 4" 245, there is NO WAY he's 245. he is more like 295.

Yeah, and Cecil could've played 20 seasons if he wasn't so FAT. Their is no way Prince will play 13 seasons, unless he slims down. This dude flat out eats. I bet he can throw down 30 white castle burgers, and a large dominoes pizza at the same time, then wash it down with a case of beer. I hope that the Brewers or whoever signs him to a big contract, I hope they put in a weight clause. Jose Lopez, the Mariners second basemen just signed a 4 year deal worth like 20 million. Their is a weight clause in it saying that he can't go above 205 #. cause he likes to eat. Felix Hernandez lost 25 pounds over the off season. These boys can eat.

NO ONE IS NATURALLY A BIG DUDE OR BIG BONED.....THEY SIMPLY GOT THAT WAY BY PUTTING THE FORK TO THEIR MOUTHS......THEY ARE FAT AND EAT BAD FOOD.... Don't make excuses, DON'T BE AN ENABLER

I agree. Prince is flat out FAT. He can hit the ball, no questions, but he needs to gain muscle and lose weight. Too many Hamburgers and cold beer.
David Wells is out of shape as well!

Wow. Somebody dislikes fat people. Fielder just has fat in his genes. Plenty of people do. If you were raised in a household where you were fed whatever you could eat by your mother or father, wouldn't you take advantage? Of course you would because you wouldn't know any better. And if I were you, I wouldn't read too much into media guides. They are notoriously full of fudged personal info, the two most popular being height and weight.
The only players you should be hopping all over are the ones who start out normal sized but inflate. For instance, if I were an Astros fan, I'd be pretty worried about Carlos Lee, who seems to increase his belly size each season. It will catch up with him sooner or later.

I don't think he's that fat man he's got a lot of muscle under there. Also once he gets his momentum going he's actually pretty quick on the base paths. I think he's just naturally a big dude.
And Cecil was much fatter and out of shape than Prince

He is built like several other slugging, slow first base DH types including Ryan Howard and David Ortiz. No one is paying Prince Fielder to steal second. He gets paid to step on second when he blasts a double off the wall.

People say Babe did it on hotdogs and beer. So I am so sick of that line, if him (Babe) being a fat azz was okay!
His father played 13 seasons, so what's the big deal?
