Cactus League countdown: Milwaukee Brewers
Following the Milwaukee Brewers' best season in nearly 30 years, general manager Doug Melvin stressed that it would be difficult to improve on a 96-win team. That's an especially tricky task when youve lost one of baseball's best players and might lose a second for nearly a third of the season.
With much uncertainty, the Brewers enter the post-Prince Fielder era this...

Marlins offer Yoenis Cespedes less than $40 million
Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports that the Marlins’ offer to free agent Yoenis Cespedes was worth less than $40 million.
From Rotoworld.com:
A source told Eric Reynoso of Cafe Fuerte on Saturday that the Marlins made an offer this week of “around $40 million.” And now we can guess that it was probably in the 30s. Cespedes returned to the Dominican Republic on...

Dombrowski spoke Tuesday as part of a Detroit Sports Broadcasters Association luncheon. When he was asked about Fielder's $214 million deal with the Tigers, Dombrowski acknowledged the risk but pointed out that...

Aramis Is The Wrong Direction For Brewers
The Brewers signed Aramis Ramirez to a 3-year deal today to play 3rd and fill in the gap in offense that the departed Prince Fielder left via free agency. Although Fielder has yet to sign with another team, it’s all but a guarantee that the slugger will land somewhere other than Milwaukee for the next decade. By acquiring Ramirez, the Brewers upgrade their infield defense and...

Rangers GM: Couldn't match Detroit for Fielder
If Detroit Tigers designated hitter Victor Martinez never injured his left knee last week who knows what would've happened with the Prince Fielder sweepstakes. And there's a decent chance that the slugging first baseman could've landed with the Rangers.
But after the Tigers showed they were committed to paying over 200 million to replace Martinez and lock up one of the...

Miami Marlins Signing Yoenis Cespedes Appears Most Natural Fit
The Miami Marlins would love to sign Yoenis Cespedes, a Cuban outfielder looking to make a splash at the Major League Baseball level in 2012, provided he can become legally cleared by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control. As of now, his status has yet to be “unblocked.”
Cespedes has been granted a travel visa to leave Cuba to come to...

Indians Pitcher Pestano On Detroits Prince Fielder, We aren’t afraid
It is nice to see a guy with lots of confidence heading into spring training in less than three weeks, Vinny Pestano was asked by a local news station in Cleveland about Detroit’s Price Fielder. It was great to hear Pestano’s reply when he said, what are we suppose to be afraid of Fielder? It is good to know the Cleveland bull pen is feeling good heading into the desert...

At least we’re not Detroit?
Any excuse to post this shot of Prince Fielder.
A column on Detroit’s recent signing of the free agent first baseman to a $214 million contract by ESPN’s L.Z. Granderson: “Wouldn’t it be a shame if the city that wins the championship needs a handout to pay for the victory parade?”
Depends on who you ask, of course.

The Shifting of Power With The Fielder Effect
JoeEarlier this week Prince Fielder decided to sign with the Detroit Tigers for nine years, $214 million. When the signing happened a series of thoughts came to me. First was the shifting of power in baseball. This is vague, and there’s a reason for that. There are many areas where the power is shifting in [...]Sports-Kings - The Kings of Sports Lists

Brewers' formula may change without Fielder
Prince Fielder is gone for good. Ryan Braun wasn't there, either.
The two names most frequently mentioned during the Milwaukee Brewers' offseason weren't a part of the team's fan festival on Sunday. And if that's the way things still look at the beginning of the season, the Brewers insist they'll be just fine.
The Brewers still plan on contending this season...

Should Milwaukee Brewers Trade Zack Greinke in 2012?
The Milwaukee Brewers are still hoping to compete for a division crown in the National League Central this season, but having already lost Prince Fielder and facing the distinct possibility of having to start the first 50 games of the 2012 MLB season without 2011 N.L. MVP Ryan Braun, should the Brewers consider trading the ace of their staff, Zack Greinke?
I know it may sound insane...
