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

[novakjr]

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.

Yeah, but Prince is working harder and getting his hair messed up!

Wasn't it just a couple of years ago we were handing the tigers their WS rings after looking at their off season moves.

Reading the comments, I see a few other team supporters a little sad and wishing they could have landed Fielder, especially anyone following the Texas Rangers.

Nothing guarantees the post season, but they are going to be fun to watch.

baseball should mandate DH in the NL also. as is all the big contracts are going to the AL teams where they know if guys break down and can't play everyday they can be the DH
