So we bout to make a big push for Prince or what? Letting all the other free agent acquisitions get away -__-


Well, it depends on if we can get him for not too much of an absurd contract. What's the point of signing a big free agent if we are not in a legitimate competition setting?

Well honestly if we want to land a big free agent we have to offer a significant more amount of money than a lot of other franchises. I mean there just isn't a young big bat free agent the caliber of Prince Fielder coming out any time soon. You sign him now so you are set up for the future. I mean I feel better about giving Prince a fat contract than I did Richie Sexson ROFL

Yes, but I would feel better splitting that big contract up amongst players similar to that of Smoak that give you cheap opportunities for plus. I'm not going to be upset if we sign him because he is a young stud. I just don't want us to massively overpay for him.

Never said I was behind any of those signings anyways. But I am saying I am behind signing Prince Fielder. At least then we know we need to push in the fences if a lefty can't yak out some homers ^^

I know right? It was his first almost full season, and he still was above replacement.
