Brewers general manager Doug Melvin declined to answer most questions about Prince Fielder and potential negotiations with the soon-to-be free agent because his staff is still in the process of evaluating the season. Milwaukee will have an exclusive window of five days after the World Series ends to negotiate with Fielder, but that doesn't necessarily mean they'll immediately make an offer. Melvin said he plans to meet with principal owner Mark Attanasio and manager Ron Roenicke in a few weeks in Los Angeles to map out a strategy. Attanasio has said the Brewers will be part of the "sweepstakes" to sign the 27-year-old first baseman. Fielder, who was picked by the Brewers in the first round of the 2002 amateur draft, made $15.55 million this season -- a record one-year contract for an arbitration-eligible player.
