That's because it wouldn't make sense for anyone else to move positions. Except for Braun, of course, who was both willing and ableIf this is the last week of September right now, how would Brewer's fans be looking back in retrospect on this position switch ?

Prince is not far off, and compared to braun is much closer to being zoned in than Braun.  Braun is swinging at a lot of bad pitches while we see Fielder taking pitches and actually earning walks.  The reason I say Fielder is off a bit right now is because I have not seen him with so many check swings before.  He has had a lot already this year.

Oops. I meant the switch of Billy to third and Brauny to left.

As long as the offense evens out. . .

At this point I see the two things as completely unrelated.

Cubsbadgers, I know I'm right on this.  It does not matter who hits behind you if you're Albert Pujols or Barry Bonds...or in this case Prince Fielder.  You get your stats either way.

Another prime example - Ryan Howard - who hits in front of Pat Burrell.  Burrell has K numbers that make Hall look like a contact hitter.

Don't you think its odd that there was so much talk about how Hall's switch to the outfield affected his hitting, yet, while Braun hits in the .220s? Its very early in the year, but I'd be interested to see what comes out of folks mouths if he's still hitting this low come mid-may.

On an unrelated note pertaining to the original post: If Brau continued to hit this poorly, I desn't matter where he hits in the lineup. 3rd- May be the last out and leaves the Fielder leading off, or 4th- Prince still gets pitched around
