Man, I'm glad this whole PF situation is over with.  The man drove baseball fans all over the world up a wall for more than four months.  He made my day job suffer a little bit.  It is good that he signed at a price that the pro-Princers and the anti-Princers are united in thinking is too steep.  Still,  I would pay almost $10 know what Prince's offer from the Mariners was.
The Mariners/ Yankees present roster paradigm of using the DH at bat as a revolving door to freshen up tired or injured players may be better for the team than signing a dedicated DH who clogs the position.  It would be interesting to know how much this effect is worth.  How much better is Prince than Olivo/Liddi/Ichiro/Montero/Wells/Carp all fresh as a daisy?
On that note, what of this rumor that Prince doesn't move off of first base for anybody?  Doesn't that strike y'all as ridiculous?  If the M's paid Prince $25 million per year, or $154,000 per game, it seems that he should be pleased to play wherever he was penciled in.
Plus, What do the M's do with $30 million dollars of payroll flexability next year?  Pay down Chris Larsen's lines of credit that his Mariner's stock is pledged against? Hire Josh Hamilton?  Put a Pyramid Alehouse in the upper decks with beer piping down to the fans?
Now what Cat? Now what?
