DID NOT see that one coming

 

[HeadlessGree]

so does that mean Inge is out of the job at third or VMart is gone when he comes back from IR

 

[ProgMatinee]

My guess is Fielder will DH when VMart returns, but I'd love for the Tigers to trade VMart to the Rockies to replace Helton in 2013 or 2014.

at 35/36 it shouldn't cost them much

i think inge is the odd man out and miggy will move to 3rd...i just don't see the tigers paying price $23m a season to DH

Wow! They paid by the pound!

 

[azurepred]

meh, not impressed. We'll see how a 300lb Fielder will last over those 9 years. One player in Baseball just isn't worth that much, especially a 1st baseman.

 

[The Ringer]

wow!

That's insane!

 

[SixMillionDollarMan Guy]

wow!

I know.

I hope he doesn't eat his way out of the league late in that contract.

Wow! They paid by the pound!

 

[The Josh]

That's a lot of money a guy whose body may not allow him to finish that contract.

haven't seen the details yet...are there any opt outs?

I think I heard on the radio this that there are no opt outs. Interesting.

 

[The Josh]

I hadn't looked yet to be honest.

 

[Grenouille]

In an off-season of disappointment and general apathy the Red Sox have finally made a compelling move.

The Sox have hired Jenny Dell to replace Heidi Watney. Finally something worthwhile.

Looks promising....

 

[ProgMatinee]

nice. Rockies lost their eye candy to MLBNetwork so will see who they pick to replace her. We've had a few hotties over the years including Charissa Thompson.

no op outs

The guy can't play defense worth crap and they pay out that kind of money for him?

$10 for a hot dog this year for Tigers' fans!
