Prince Fielder: Who Needs Him?

Via Miller Park Drunk  |  December 01, 2011
The Brewers offseason began a couple of months ago, but in all likelihood it won't really begin until Prince Fielder signs with another team. The players don't believe he will be back, Prince doesn't think he'll be back, the management doesn't really believe he'll be back and deep down you and I know that he won't be back, but still we wait. We wait because...

Impact: DeJesus Signs with the Cubs

Via Fantasy Baseball 365  |  December 01, 2011
The Cubs signed outfielder David DeJesus to a two-year deal. Here’s how the move could affect your fantasy team in 2012…   Here’s what I wrote about DeJesus in my free agent primer for The Outside Corner:   2011 was a tough season for DeJesus. He put up career lows in AVG and OBP, but some of his struggles can be explained by a thumb injury for which he needed surgery...

Jon Morosi: Blue Jays Should Make “Statement” With Prince Fielder

Via Rant Sports  |  December 01, 2011
Yessir, now this is an opinion I can totally get behind. Jon Morosi of Fox Sports published a column about Prince earlier today, saying that “Line up the factors — payroll flexibility, roster construction, competitive window, attendance impact — and there are few (if any) better fits for Fielder.” There are a number of good points in there, and I agree with almost...

David DeJesus a Great Fit for the Cubs

Via The Outside Corner  |  November 30, 2011
About a month ago, I ranked David DeJesus as the fourth best available free agent centerfielder. DeJesus only started six games in center for the A’s last season, but my inclusion of him in the centerfield ranks was more due to the lack of free agent depth at that position than anything else. Here’s what I wrote in my free agent primer… 2011 was a tough season for DeJesus...

Brewers still holding out hope for Fielder

Via Brewers Bar  |  December 01, 2011
If you're one of those people that wants the Brewers to keep Prince Fielder, Buster Olney had a pair of tweets that might restore a little hope: MILW last formal offer to Prince Fielder was 5/100, but as part of current talks, they've let it be known that they could stretch to 6/120. Keep in mind MILW/Fielder talks -- it's a fluid situation, and MILW is probably in...
