This entire discussion about Prince Fielder is fundamentally idiotic. You havehome town fans weeping and wailing that their home team might try to win.
This is an idiotic situation.
Now be fair, man. The reasoned arguments against Fielder (Sandy) or betting the farm to win "now" (eg Taro last year) are not arguments against trying to win. These arguments take the form that 1) such a move will do less than expected to help the team in the short run (or at least deliver an unpredictable level of benefit), and 2) will damage longer term chances of winning. I understand you're arguing about a situation, but this paragraph almost sounds like something you might see at some other blog.
