9 for Fielder was crazy for an AL team, let alone an NL team. I don't think NL teams can compete with the AL for prime sluggers anymore.
I agree with this- the AL has a couple of years of extra production for a slugger, so what could be 4 deadweight years for an NL team translates to 2 for an AL team, I also think these deals will be the new norm- Prince and Pujols just built on what Teix got
