Gap between Fielders still there, says dad

Via Post-Gazette  |  February 05, 2012
If you think Prince Fielder signing with his father's team last month is going to help continue to bridge the gap between son and 1990s Tigers star Cecil Fielder, think again. Dismissing talk of an "improving" relationship with his son, Cecil Fielder told the St.

Player Profile #89: Corey Hart | OF | MIL

Via Baseball Professor  |  February 03, 2012
We’ve used Corey Hart rather frequently as out best-case scenario for outfielders with good pop, a solid average and enough speed to have some impact in steals. Despite playing in just 130 games last season, Hart managed to rank 91st by season’s end, but how will the loss of Prince Fielder affect Hart’s 2012 stat line? That’s hard to know seeing as Hart bounced all around...

A Long-Run Analysis of Salary Inflation

Via Fangraphs  |  February 02, 2012
The contracts that baseball players sign are some of the longest contracts in business — not just sports. When handing out nine- or ten-year deals, projecting salary inflation is critical, and yet getting an accurate forecast is nearly impossible. Prince Fielder and Albert Pujols signed huge deals this offseason, which pays the sluggers into 2020 and 2021, respectively. The rate...

PRO Rumors financial efficiency report- Detroit Tigers

Via PRO Rumors  |  February 04, 2012
The next financial efficiency report will feature the AL Central Champions, Detroit Tigers. A team that quickly forgot about their losing ways in the beginning of the 21st century. They have an outstanding offense, now even more improved with the addition of Prince Fielder, and the most dominant starting pitcher in the Majors in 2011, Justin Verlander. In 2011, the Tigers won 96...

Explaining Stats: Wins Above Replacement

Via Indians Baseball Insider  |  February 06, 2012
WAR stands for Wins Above Replacement, and replaced VORP, value over replacement player, as the go to stat for trying to figure out the overall value of a player. It is simply the number of wins a player should help his team win in comparison to what a AAA player would do if called up in place of them. The idea being that a AAA team in the majors would be historically bad winning...

Edwin Jackson finally signs

Via The Hardball Times  |  February 02, 2012
Fans had been waiting patiently for the last chip to fall. All of the big free agents had signed (Albert Pujols, Prince Fielder, C.J. Wilson, etc.) except for one. That one was Edwin Jackson, and he signed with the Washington Nationals yesterday for one year worth somewhere around $10 million. At first glance, this looks like a pretty good deal for the Nats. First, let’s take...

Allow Me To Rain On Your Parade

Via This Is Getting Old  |  February 03, 2012
Now I’m not one to be contrarian but please forgive me for not jumping up and down for joy about Albert Pujols and Prince Fielder going to the American League. That’s not what I want.  I don’t want to back into the playoffs.  I don’t want to back into a division title.  Sure I will [...]

Duquette's risky plan

Via Oriole Post  |  February 03, 2012
Dan Duquette has a plan. It is not the plan that many wanted. Prince Fielder is not part of that plan, neither is trading Adam Jones or Jeremy Guthrie. No, but Duquette has a plan. And it is very risky. Looking at the moves Duquette has made this offseason I think it is pretty clear, he still believes in the talent that is on this roster. I made this comment at fanfest: "If...
