Fielder has been an All-Star several times. He won the 2007 and 2011 Silver Slugger Award. He became the first Brewer to win the Home Run Derby, defeating Nelson Cruz in the final round of the 2009 derby. He also won the 2012 derby, joining Ken Griffey Jr. as the second player to win more than one derby. In January of 2012, Fielder agreed to sign with the Detroit Tigers.
