Prince Fielder wants $200 Million

the fact that Texiaria, A-Rod, and Mauer are all multi dimensional players and two of them play positions harder to find great offensive players at. Also consider that Ryan Howard, Albert Pujols, and Adrian Gonzalez could be free agents the same season I really don't see how Fielder is going to get the money he wants. If he does get $200 million it is instantly the worst contract in baseball as he is also a conidate to suffer a breakdown sooner than the other players.

If you read the article, there is no named source. I think this is just the brewers preparing their fans to loose fielder.

He wants a Twinkie, too, and I think that's more likely.

It is a Boras strategy. Start insanely high and then anything looks like a deal. Kind of like $50 million for Strasburg. I bet it isn't long before we hear about how Bryce Harper is worth double what Strasburg got.

That picture would be a lot funnier if the top 1/4 inch was cropped off

Is it too early to say I want us to sign Adrian Gonzalez?
