The Nashville Sounds completed the delivery of a one-two punch to the Milwaukee Brewers this afternoon. Two days after top prospect Rickie Weeks headed north from Nashville to Milwaukee, #2 prospect Prince Fielder has followed suit.
Fresh on the heels of his third multiple-homer game of the season, Fielder received his first big-league callup on Monday when his contract was purchased by the Brewers.
With the Sounds? major league affiliate needing an extra bat for its American League rules series in Tampa Bay this week, the 21-year-old first baseman fit the bill.
Fielder, who was ranked as the 15th-best prospect in all of baseball and second overall in the Brewers organization by Baseball America prior to the season, batted .253 (58-for-229) with a team-leading 15 home runs to go along with 47 RBIs in 64 games for the Sounds this season. He added 13 doubles and carries a .507 slugging percentage.
In his final game with Nashville, Fielder smacked a pair of home runs at Principal Park in Des Moines, Iowa on Sunday afternoon to lead the Sounds to a 7-1 victory. It marked the third time the youngster had belted two roundtrippers in a contest this season (also on May 23 at Portland and May 29 vs. New Orleans)
Eighteen of Fielder?s final 20 hits for the Sounds were of the extra-base variety, including 12 home runs over his last 19 games since May 23. He racked up 28 RBIs in final 20 games of Pacific Coast League action.
He is currently tied for 4th in the PCL with 15 longballs, is tied for 7th in the circuit with his 47 RBIs, and is 15th among league hitters with 116 total bases.
In addition to his power prowess, Fielder has demonstrated a keen batting eye, leading Nashville & tying for 5th among PCL hitters with 37 walks.
Fielder, who was named PCL Batter-of-the-Week for the May 23-29 period after batting .360 with seven home runs and 16 RBIs during the seven-game span, belted his third career grand slam (an opposite-field shot to left) and matched a career high with six RBIs on May 28 against New Orleans.
Fielder will be in uniform for the Brewers on Monday evening at Tropicana Field in Tampa Bay and will make his major league debut upon his first appearance.
To clear a spot on its 25-man and 40-man rosters for Fielder, Milwaukee designated former Sounds catcher Julio Mosquera for assignment. The Brewers have 10 days to trade him, place him on waivers, or release him. He would need to clear waivers to rejoin Nashville.
To fill Fielder?s spot on the roster, the Brewers have signed veteran infielder Warren Morris to a minor league contract and assigned him to the Sounds.
The 30-year-old former Sound opened the season in the Cleveland Indians organization but was slow to recover from a broken right ring finger sustained in spring training and was released last week after batting only .091 (2-for-22) in five games for Double-A Akron. Morris previously played in Nashville during the 2001 campaign, when he hit .305 (68-for-223) with five HR & 40 RBIs in 57 contests for the Sounds.
