Fielder pulls a Carlos Delgado.
Boras has struck out and waited too long - nobody is gonna give him the money and years now that the greedy sunofagun wants.
So.  Detroit just lost their DH.  Prince is gonna sign a 1-year deal with them for 15-20 mill, echoes of Delgado's 1 year in Florida when Boras held out too long and the Ms went with Sexson instead because Carlos didn't want to leave the East Coast.
And then we'll do all this next year, and somebody will cave and give Prince something in the neighborhood of what he wants when the needs and the teams in the mix are different, or restrictions have changed.
My early 2012 wager in that scenario is, say...Texas, once they either trade Hamilton for a gob of prospects this year or let him walk after the season.
Tell him to walk right on up here to Seattle and replace Ichiro.  We have the money.  Ackley / Hamilton / Montero / Smoak / Carp / Franklin sounds like a fun party to center the lineup around, especially if Liddi and Wells can do much of anything.
