...that another Fielder will be available next year or most any year upcoming, then I would completely agree with you, Sandy. I think the primary reason people are advocating pursuing Fielder despite the less-than-ideal timing is because they strongly disagree with you precisely on this point.
If it turns out you are correct, then the argument to sign Fielder (the only way to do so being when he is available, which is now) pretty much falls apart for the reasons you outline.
If we had an option equal to Fielder (a VERY rare bird when you consider age) available even as soon as the 2012 All-Star break I would agree we could use the opportunity to figure out just what we want to keep and what we can part with. Most don't believe we will have that option then or any time in the next few years.

I'm not sure we actually have that option NOW, in any real sense, at least on Fielder's part and perhaps, despite Zduriencik's comments, even on the part of the Budget Police on Royal Brougham.
