Unless his price/years comes down by a lot, don't even think about Fielder. That being said, I really hope he goes to the AL

Probability of the Marlins signing Fielder = Zero. Point. Zero.

Thanks for literally spelling it out for the non math-minded.

If we sign Fielder, I'll jump off a bridge and see if I live.

 

... in Skyrim, not reality. I value my real life too much.

 

 

That's not hard to do if you have the Become ethereal shout....

This is why we can't sign Fielder

great stat!!!

 

glad to know we are the fat guy squad of the MLB. Heath Bell and big Z really put us over the top.

I used to jump off bridges too, until I took an arrow to the knee.

I just got this playing today.. lol

Yeah, no.....

You also have to factor in guys like Stanton who weigh a lot...of pure muscle, not fat.

The point being that we're at the perfect muscle weight.

 

Prince Fielder would easily throw us an extra 60 points, eh?

 

But seriously, anti-Fielder. Pro-Cespedes.

Recently posted on MLBTradeRumors:

 

The Nationals are “patiently and aggressively� pursuing Fielder, Adam Kilgore of the Washington Post reports. Nationals principal owners Ted and Mark Lerner met with agent Scott Boras at the owners’ meetings this evening, according to Kilgore. Boras touched base with other owners, including Jeffrey Loria of the Marlins.

That reads more like Boras is having trouble finding bidders for Fielder and contacted Loria.

 

The market for Fielder has been really quiet probably because most teams are hesitant to give him a big contract. The Brewers' original offer is about as much as I would be comfortable paying for him.

Yeah, I highly doubt Prince will get the big deal he wants... I'd take him for a 4 year deal (5 years at the most)

He said he'd accept a 3 year deal. *shrug* I'd take him for a 3 year deal.

^when that news broke I think Boras negated it like an hour later. I think he'd already have been signed if he'd take a 3 yr deal

He's going to get 6-8 years.

Would be sweet if I just randomly checked espn and found out that we signed him, with no rumored interest. That would be and awesome surprise.

I'm not pro or anti either, but while Cespedes is in superior physical condition in comparison to Fielder, it is Fielder who has six-plus years of experience as a proven Major League slugger. We know Fielder can hit Major League pitching, but Cespedes is yet to prove that. I mean, they both have their pros and cons. Both are gambles in one way or another.

No matter how much we want him to, fat boy is not going to play outfield and we already have 2 MLB-caliber first basemen.

Gaby Sanchez is not holding back the signing of Fielder.

It could work. Have fielder play lf and boni center. Just tell hanley/reyes/boni to get the ball if it isn't going directly to him. Instruct fielder to only take 5 steps, and not to run, but lightly jog. If he can't get it, someone else will.

... this could actually work.

The press seems to be suggesting that the Nats are close to being out on Fielder because Boras wants a Pujols-ish contract. Good luck with that.

I wonder if Prince Fielder knows that holdouts price only increases for so long. After they peak, they plummet.

Prince doesn't have to know this. Boras does.
