Tigers sign Prince - 9/214 - Heyman

[Little Slide Rooter]

Does Cabrera have any chance of going back to 3rd or will he and Prince split 1st and DH?

[Old Style]

Yikes

[sneakypower]

Wow I thought the Tigers were smarter than that.

what gave you that impression?

 

they're really, really awful with money

[Guest]

It's always that damn mystery team.

[StarlinOnYou]

Now trade Castellanos & Turner for Garza and try to win a ring.

[El Duderino]

you've got to be kidding me. 9 years?

[ctcf]

So very glad Theo and Jed stayed the hell away.

[StarlinOnYou]

He's 27 years old.

 

Of course it is not the smartest thing, but with the DH he's going to be great for at the very least 6 of those years.

[Guest]

He's really following in papy's foot prints. Wow. Good for Prince. From what I know about him, he seems like a really centered person. I wonder if he's more Eli or Tom?

[Coach.]

I have to admit, I don't care about the White Sox. But I also don't live in Chicago or know any White Sox fans.

 

Consider yourself extremely lucky.

They really should. Their lineup starts off with Jackson(CF), Peralta(SS), Fielder(1b/DH), Cabrera(1B/DH), Avila©, Boesch(RF), and Young(LF) and the rotation Verlander, Fister, and Scherzer. another front end starter would make them AL favs easily. Verlander and Cabrera are signed through 2014 and 2015 respectively, so the next 3-4 years should be all about going for it.

He hasn't even been "great" for all of the last 4-5 years.

Unfortunately for the Tigers, there is only one DH spot.

[davell]

Year 1 of this deal could be very telling. Hopefully, it's very low and they still have room to add Garza as well now. Hell, if it'd net us what we want, I don't care if we sent money along with Garza, to make it work.

holy schnikes

[Hairyducked Idiot]

So Pujols and Fielder both go NL to AL. Darvish goes to the AL.

 

The NL got Buehrle and Papelbon.

 

I maintain my theory that the AL is a significantly better league.

[Wheelimus]

Nothing like nine bleeping years of cushion to keep a weight concern motivated. Yikes.

[SouthSideRyan]

Very happy to see Prince no longer with the Brewers. Also happy to no longer have to hear Brewers fans, etc., talk like Prince might still be willing to play on a one-year deal.

 

And the bonus is that it sucks for the White Sox, not that they had much of a chance this year anyway.

 

I have to admit, I don't care about the White Sox. But I also don't live in Chicago or know any White Sox fans.

 

Nobody cares about the White Sox in Chicago either.

I'll take the under. For $214M.

CAREFUL ON THAT LEDGE KYLE

[Exile on Waveland]

Now trade Castellanos & Turner for Garza and try to win a ring.

 

After the initial shock, this was my first rational thought. The Fielder move is surely a win-now move -- goodness, they must know that the deal is going to be really bad at the end -- so jumping in for Garza seems to make a lot of sense.

Huh?

 

It's a good thing to be in the weaker league.

[SouthSideRyan]

Errrr *LIMB

 

ETA: Wait, doesn't "out on a ledge" mean the same thing??

[wvcbxl]

:shock:

Wow, that's a ridiculous contract.

Oooh. I vaguely recall Tim arguing with me on that point at sometime in the past. But I may have said something stupider and not be remembering.
