Just the other day I was thinking, "possibly the best reason for signing Fielder/Pujols is what your reaction would be if your division rival signed them". Oops.  Law of attraction strikes again.
I don't understand this.  How can the same people say that signing Fielder/Pujols to a long-term contract will hurt our chances of winning AND simultaneously say that when a division rival signs Fielder/Pujols to a long-term contract that is ALSO hurts our chances of winning?
I have feeling this is Vlad to Angels all over again.  Us M's fans get to sit and watch Vlad crush balls 420 feet to left-center and then get to watch him do the same in the playoffs to the wild-card. I can only hope that this time our best addition is not Brad Wilkerson.  
If we sign Fielder than by the logic of the detractors he and Pujols will hit their overpayed years at the same time and the disadvantages will cancel out! (TIC)
