I can't believe Prince Fielder is holding out for a 10 year - 260 million dollar deal. He's at least 350?

Question

pounds. I don't care if they list him at 275... NO WAY he's 275. He's way over 300. 325-350 easy. He's 27. He wants a contract until he's 37. He's smoking crack. No way he gets that much. I say he's good for 4-5 more years. His dad broke down in his early 30's and he was a fatso too. I think for Prince's numbers, he's more in a 6 year - 150 million dollar range. I would take that if I was Prince. Also, I don't think teams should go beyond 6 years for him. He's a fatso fat body blubbler whale. At least Albert Pujols works out and takes care of his body. Prince the fatso will break down. He's lucky he hasn't yet. Also, he would work better in the American League, where he could DH from time to time. I know Scott Bor-*** is his agent and he's going to pressure Prince for the last dollar an year amount. But, if I were a GM for a team, i wouldn't go beyond 6 years and 150 mil. What do you think?

Answer 1

Well why do you think no one signed him yet? No one wants to sign him for 10 years because of that and I think you summed it up perfectly- no one wants to risk him breaking down in the middle of his career.

The guy is egotistical, overweight, and cocky he really isn't worth all those years and money.

Answer 2

What do you really think of Albert ? You are brutal lol. Thus said Fielder will sign for whatever the best deal is for him Boras insists on this. Been a boat load of fatso who continued putting up numbers. If you blame his dad's demise on weight maybe you have something. Has anyone gone through history ever heard of Frank Howard how about Babe Ruth, Tony Gwynn and my two prime guys CC and Miquel Cabrera ( experts said 2 or 3 years he'd be 400 pounds and out of baseball) Tigers forgot to listen got a steal. What will Prince do, what do you base your statement on his durability , his lack of injuries or his consistent numbers. The early talk was Fielder being near 5 years younger than Pujols deserved bigger longer contract. Let's wait and see on this one. Weight doesn't mean stat drops or injuries. The weight will effect him more long after he hangs up his cleats. Take a look at .394 Tony Gwynn 1994 team photo who would of thunk he to be such a great hitter.

Answer 3

That is a pretty high price. And that is Scott Boras for you.



He's 27 and has played just about every game. When is his weight suppose to catch up to him? They have been saying this for a while but it hasn't happened yet. So far he has been one of the most durable players in mlb the last few years. I think his dad was done at around 34; and Prince is better than his dad so the decline might not be as rapid. Even so, that would be 7 years of all star production for somebody.

I thought CC Sabathia was too fat. He's still putting up some fat win numbers for the Yankees!

At any rate, I wouldn't be comfortable in signing anyone to a big contract for 10 years. It's not easy for players to maintain a high level of production for that period of time no matter who they are.

Answer 4

I don't think he's at least 350 pounds. Not sure if he's smoking crack. I know I haven't see him naked, so I don't know if he's a fatso fat body blubbler whale. I know Scott Boras is his agent and he is going to pressure Prince for every last dollar. I think I know the delay in teams committing to Prince is likely making him eat more and sleep less. I agree he should go to the AL for the DH luxury seat in the dugout. No matter where he goes, there will be 100's of questions here with differing opinions.

Answer 5

who cares. he wont get it. no matter what he thinks or scott boras, we've seen the best of prince fielder and its no where near as good as pujols. he's was never the best 1st basemen in the NL central and everyone knows it. he was the best on his team for like a year and a half. Ryan Braun is the crown jewel of the Brewers. He'll get a contract for like 15-20 mil a year and better be happy with it cause ill take about 5 other 1st basemen before Fielder and thats not counting the money issie with fielder.

Answer 6

well no teams that offered contracts would go over 5-6 years from whats said

and who knows how much he will weigh when spring training comes in..

and remember his dads numbers started falling around age 27 28 and that could happen to him

wherever he lands up is gonna be the team that shells out the longest contract along with good money

Answer 7

I agree with you. I don't think any team will pay him that much. I think he's worth 180-200 mil. Teixeira is getting paid 180 mil. He's hitting a lot of homers and rbi, but his average is down. Fielder should be getting around that money. If he gets paid around 250 mil or more, I think they are overpaying him.

Answer 8

I don't think his legs will hold up that long, and theres no way he'll be still playing at 37. But, I think the Gnats will do this deal anyway. They are desperate for a winner.

Answer 9

Im uncertain why Fielder could try this because of the fact hes on the magnificent of his game precise now. This guy merely rebounded from a no longer effortless 09' marketing campaign the place he hit .261. He hit close to to .3 hundred final twelve months with close to to 40hr and one hundred twenty RBIs. His quantity is glittering now. he will ought to maintain %. with yet another .3 hundred/forty/120rbi season and then repeat it as quickly as extra if he signs and indications a 2-twelve months deal. he will maintain extra money now if he signs and indications. He could be getting close to to one hundred ninety million for sort of 8 years. Or a hundred and fifty million for 6.
