- A year after that, he was voted the Most Valuable Player in the Arizona Fall League.
- In the minors, as a result of his defensive play, he was referred to as "a crash test dummy with a death wish", a "human wrecking ball act", a "wall magnet", and a "manager's dream and a trainer's worst nightmare." Fuld made his major league debut with the Cubs in 2007.
- He became a fan favorite for his defense and his tendency to run into outfield walls while making catches.
