O/T, Prince Fielder to Tigers for 9 year deal

[insidethewrapper]

Since Victor Martinez is out for the year due to injury, it won't be until 2013 that Cabrera, Fielder and Martinez are in the same lineup.

I love this move. The AL gets better in 2012. The Tigers will be a great team to watch. Good pitching and hitting. WS in 2012. If not, it will be fun. Thanks to Mike Illitch , the new George S.

Wow, that is a very expensive replacement bat for V-Mart. Torn ACL... yikes.

Have they scheduled the parade yet?

Too many years and too much money. The guy is going to break down with all that heft on his frame. Beware of knee, back and foot problems in the not-too-distant future.

Verlander wins 30

Now kidding aside, Miggy + Prince = Scary

Personally, injuries aside, I think that V-mart is an all around better hitter than Prince. I don't expect either player to be great in the long term though. No way do the Tigers keep V-mart after this.. Hopefully, next year with Hafner off the payroll, we'll be welcoming Vic back to Cleveland...

Agreed he's a better hitter than Prince and question both long-term greatness. But Id be more surprised if they victor go after the year he had last year and play 140+ games for all we hear about injuries.

Wow, Prince is going to be making as much money as Romney, before taxes.
