Prince Fielder to the Detroit Tigers: The Pros and Cons of the 9 year deal

Since the beginning of time, or so it seems, the American League has clearly favored power hitters, while the pitching has been better in the National League. The designated hitter enables aging power hitters the chance to prolong their career.

Reyes, Pujols or Fielder?

The Eagle has landed. The last of the “big” Mohicans, Prince Fielder, has finally agreed to a mega-deal and now has a new home in Motor City… Rah, rah, or better yet, vroom, vroom… So now that the dust has settled, here is an interesting question first posed by Mets historian and ESPN New York statistician Mark Simon who asked via Twitter: Lets look at all...

Prince Fielder Rumors: Monday

It's hard to imagine that anything's holding back the market for Prince Fielder at this point. Albert Pujols signed more than a month ago, Yu Darvish and the Rangers worked out a deal, and agent Scott Boras has taken the time to introduce Fielder to some MLB owners.
