It will be difficult for the Brewers to avoid an arbitration hearing with Prince Fielder, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.Fielder expressed irritation last year after having his contract renewed opposed to being signed to a long-term deal, so it would be hard to see Fielder settling for anything other than a long-term deal before an arbitration hearing.

Fielder went 1-for-4 with a double in Sunday's win over the Pirates, extending his hit streak to seven games.

Spin: Fielder has gone 13-for-29 over that seven game stretch, raising his batting average from .266 to .301. His OPS still isn't at his career norms, but his recent hot streak has got him up to a respectable .851 mark.

Fielder's production taking off

Detroit first baseman Prince Fielder finished 2 for 4 with a home run during the Tigers' 4-3 loss to Pittsburgh in an interleague game on Saturday. Fielder bashed a two-run homer off Pirates starter A.J. Burnett in the third inning for his second home run in the past three games.

Analysis: After a muted start to the season -- for his standards -- Fielder is starting to regain his powerful swing at the plate. He is currently riding a six-game hitting streak and produced four doubles and two homers in that span. Fielder's home run Saturday also eclipsed his total from last month (three) and gave him seven on the season with 24 RBI. Fantasy owners should continue to utilize Fielder as a must-start in all formats.
