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.

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.
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 unfortunately can no longer afford to trade outside the US. Even rates to Canada are way too high now!
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!
It's ok dude. Atleast there will be 2 wildcards lol
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?
