Post Tigers and Prince Fielder Agree to 9 Year $214 Million Deal


Ken Rosenthal recently comfirmed reports that the Detroit Tigers and Prince Fielder have agreed to a 9 year $214 million deal.

Victor Martinez recently tore his ACL and will miss the 2012 season, so the Tigers went out and made a splash and will sign Fielder. In 2010 Fielder hit .299 with 38 Home Runs and 120 RBI as a member of the Milwaukee Brewers.

Fielder is a career .282 hitter with a career OBP of .390.

It's expected Fielder will play 1st base. So Miguel Cabrera would need to change positions.

Detroit needed to find someone to hit behind Cabrera, and I think they found the perfect player.

My issue is that he kept saying that he never wanted to play on a team that his dad played on.

Congrats Gladdy. I am glad you got a main player for your team. Tigers are going to be scary in the 2013 season with Miggy, Prince, and Victor in the lineup.

Plus best news Prince is not going to Texas.

Tigers will dominate the weak AL Central like the Tribe did in the 90's. They'll win divisions by 30 games.

Great for you gladdy.

He got a lot more money than I thought he was going to get though.

Do you think that the Rangers ran the price up on him at all?

I also was surprised at the amount of jack Prince got from the deal.

Good point Schwood, barganing from TX makes complete sense.

Not at all. The Tigers had to overpay to get him in Detroit (mainly because of the whole thing with his dad). I don't mind though, because he's a great player!

Deal doesn't really affect me either way. We have cheapskate owners that refuse to put any money into the team....so Fielder in DET or not, the Indians weren't winning a World Series anyways.

It gives you a reason to go to an Indians vs Tigers game?

I don't think I've ever said anything bad about Prince. I do think Morgan is a tool (a funny tool though), but very fake.
