Tigers need Prince Fielder to fix his postseason funk.
from the detnews

In 30 career postseason games, Fielder is hitting .179 with a .268 on-base percentage and a .348 slugging percentage. Half those games have come with Detroit now, and Fielder?s playoff totals with the Tigers are alarmingly weak: a .167/.219/.217 slash line.
