Can't see that with his body type his good for a long term contract.
Cecil Fielder listed as 6'3" and 230pds
ie his dad and his playing days.
Within 8 years after Cecil's big breakout year of 1990
51 HR - 134 RBI season in 1990
6 years later - 39 HR - 117 RBIs
8 years he was hitting 13 HR - 61 RBI in 1997
gone 9 years after best sesson. 13 total
Prince Fielder listed as 5'11" and 275pds
50 HR - 119 RBI in 2007
4 years later - 38 HR - 120 RBIs
7 years to date.
So by the numbers his dad was as good if not a little player. But at the same point in both carriers (4 years after best sesson) Cecil only lasted 2 more year. And they give Prince 9 year contract?????
Hope for him its all alot of signing bonus and not so much backend deal for the 2nd half of the contract term.
