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

[tbob]

The Minnesota Twins have officially been eliminated from the 2012 Central Division race

Maybe Selig can form a division with Pittsburg, Houston, Seattle, Minnesota and Oakland.....

I'd rather have Romney helping my business for 9 years than Prince Fielder at the tail end of that contract!

I was hoping the Mariners would sign him but when I saw the length of the deal I was SOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy they didn't. 1-4 years Detroit will be happy and get good value and production, but 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 years from now his Salary is going to the "Bain" of their existance (2 Romney mentions in one post about Prince Fielder!). Hopefull for Tigers fans they win a couple quick or that contract is going to be a major flop.

I like Fielder a good deal as a player but seriously, how do you allow yourself to get THAT big as a Professional Athlete? If he cant lose some weight in a contract year do you really think he is going to give a crap about his weight as he gets older with a guaranteed contract until he is 36!

I just figured it out, its all part of the governments revitalization of Detroit plan! His taxes on the new contract are worth more than the whole city!
