Never say the M's aren't smart. They could've had Montero for a half year of Cliff Lee. Instead they got him for 5 controlled years of a young stud pitcher. |

On one hand, I hate the Yankees. On the other hand, it's going to be a 50/50 proposition to win the AL West for a long time. |

It's probably a good move for the M's as I hear they've got some great young pitchers in their system but no offense. Maybe now they can get Prince to agree to sign. |

What if we get Yu and Prince? That would be Yankee like. What if we don't? That would be Jerry like. |

Junior had some good points about fat players in the MLB and how they peak at 23 and fall off the face of the earth at 30. Cecil Fielder - 6' 3", 250 (though I question that 250) Prince Fielder - 5' 11", 270 Prince is way fatter than his dad. But how does a Vegan who plays sports for a living weigh 270 at 5' 11"? |

 I think everyone knows what an albatross a long contract would be for him and that's why he's still out there. Everyone wants him the next 4 years, but it's the last 3 that scare them.

I guess it would be worth those last three years if they got a couple more shots at a title, though I've heard rumors that teams are wanting mutual opt outs after the third year, which would be ideal for the team. Truth be told, Washington looks pretty good on paper. If they're offering 7 and the money's right ... there are a lot worse places to play than DC. |

I've heard more than one pundit say his glove isn't that great. If that's truly the case, is his bat really worth $24 mil a year? That seems like an awful lot, even for dumbass baseball owners. Then again he had Boras. That dude must have pictures of every single owner. |

I didn't even think about the Cabrera issue. I had to listen to some talker this morning discuss how this might put Detroit over the hump in the playoffs. Not so fast. |

It might, but it won't. Prince and Cabrera will need designated runners in a couple years. |

I read a funny post on Twitter yesterday and I can't remember who it was from: "What will Fielder and Cabrera combine to reach first: 600 home runs or 600 pounds?" |
