Prince Fielder will go? I say the mariners just cuz im a diehard M's fan
There is about zero chance of Prince Fielder going to the Mariners. None. Zip.
Cubs.
U could have said the same about pujols to the angels so its totally possible
No, you couldn't have. If someone had suggested "hey, what about Pujols to the Angels" in the week or so leading up to his signing, you certainly couldn't have completely dismissed the idea.Quote:

if u really think fielder is going to the cubs or watever please explain why. Thats the pont of this thread anyways
Toronto makes the most sense. They have the money after missing out on Darvish. They have AA moving the team into position to start winning. They have weak options at 1B. They could really use a star free agent signing.
The lineup would be ridiculous btw: Gose-Y.Escobar-Bautista-Fielder-Lawrie-Lind-Rasmus-K.Johnson-Arrencibia eventually?
I'm sure someone would have said it wasn't possible as the Angels have Trumbo and Morales.Quote:

I don't see it happening. I'm not so sure that Prince is going to want to jump on board a rebuilding project that's really just starting.Quote:

I think it foolish to give this guy a 7+ year large value deal, but i'm not certain SEA wouldn't do it and feel they'd be just as likely to as Theo & the Cubs.
i believe the Nats & Giants have just as great a shot as any team to land him. If I was forced to choose a team i'd choose the Giants but really feel all the clubs listed have an equal shot. it just depends on who's going to pony up the most years and we really have no way of knowing. prince is kind of an oddball in that he's so huge surely some teams will be more conservative than others on a long term deal.
I agree on the Nats, but not SF. Cain is on the last year of his deal & Lince will be needing an extension soon as well. Combine that with a pretty promising young 1B in Brandon Belt and I think they opt for the cheap prospect and hope he can pan out in the majorsQuote:

Just out of curiosity, where has Fielder-to-the-M's been discussed? I just spent 10 minutes looking online and couldn't find anything.
Try mlb.comQuote:

Jon Heyman's a dolt but he's usually correct when it comes to Boras clients.
Also, did you try Googling "Prince Fielder mariners" because this is the second result on the list.
I would love, love, love if the Nats were to sign him to a 3 or 4 or possibly even 5 year deal for 25 mill or so a year, but It ain't happening. More likely it will be the Cubs....
A lineup of Desmond, Werth, Zimmerman, Fielder, Morse, Harper, Ramos, Espinosa, pitcher would go great with a rotation of Strasburg, Gonzalez, Zimmerman, Wang, and Lannan!! Not to mention a bullpen of Detwiler, Gorzelanny, .... , Burnette, Clippard and Storen.
is it spring yet?
"The Mariners have been named as potential suitors for weeks, but the team doesn’t appear to have the payroll room to add a player who will command up to $20 million a season."Quote:

The Brewers offered 5 years at 100 million last off season and he turned it down. Let's see if he gets more than that.
Looks like we'll be waiting for the Darvish signing, then find out who can afford PF, and at what price.
I hate waiting...
Wow! Impressive call, Kobie. Now you're forced to regale us with more of your knowledge on future eventsQuote:
