The sports betting experts are sitting around the old hot stove and contemplating the moves that have been made in free agency to this point. The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim took a little from both of the contenders for the 2011 World Series when it signed former St. Louis Cardinal slugger Albert Pujols and former Texas Ranger pitcher C.J. Wilson. Considering the vacancies that each of those players filled on the Angels’ roster, it is safe to say that the Angels improved its team for 2012.

The pay per head sportsbook experts are now keeping a close eye on the Milwaukee Brewers to see what will happen with slugger Prince Fielder. The Brewers traded third-baseman Casey McGehee to Pittsburgh for relief pitcher Jose Veras. McGehee’s drop off in productivity made him expendable. To fill in the spot at third base, the Brewers picked up former Chicago Cubs’ third baseman Aramis Ramirez. That would add some considerable power to the Brewers’ batting order if Prince Fielder stays with the team. The problem is that no one knows what Fielder is going to do.

There are almost no rumors about where Prince Fielder will wind up circulating, but there is some speculation that the Cardinals may be interested. A betonline review of Fielder’s stats versus those of Albert Pujols show that Fielder is not necessarily a complete replacement for the departed Pujols. But the Cardinals know that Fielder is the only way that St. Louis can hope to maintain offensive production at the first base position.
