I know this has been said before,
There doesn't seem to be any other good options besides Fielder. If you have 16 million to spend this year, and 36 next year, where would you spend it?
Yu Darvish seems like he is worth some money, as were Pujols, and Reyes, but what about these third tier guys? Is there any other way to spend money this off season?
I'd rather watch Mike Carp and Casper Wells and TrayyVONN, than another mediocre over the hill type who is brought in for his veteran presence, and delivers a .240 average to go with some shoddy slugging.
Even if Mariners bloggers are divided in how long Prince should be paid, nobody argues that he is on the very top shelf of free agents. He is the big slugging bat that some people want, he is the high OBP choosey moneyball bat that other people want, and his hitting is all around above reproach.
