Well now the Cards won't have to deal with him in the division. And don't have to deal with Braun for 50 games either.


Now just gotta get rid of Votto and we are good to go.

The rest of the division doesn't have to deal with Pujols any more.

Division 1 - Cardinals 0

Wainwright's back.

Division 1- Cardinals 1

Jury is still out on that one.

E%@#$^@#$%&^$@#%@$%#!%^@#^^#!$^!#$^^#@!#$$^@!%@#$%^&#!$&^!#^&!#$%^!#%!#$^@#$^!@#

I definitely did not want him in the NL East.

Plus, now the division has to deal with Beltran.


HA.

I hope Boros did not get the crazy $$$ he was asking.

Just told the wife. She is about as happy about this as you are. :D

You might want a more credible source on this than an unknown guy who pretended he worked as a blogger for a Latin American sports network called PioDeportes and then changed his Twitter name to "MLBInsideNews" to gain more credibility on Twitter.

Beltran is a shell of what he used to be. I doubt anyone's too scared.

Beltran had a better year last year than Pujols! I read it on CP.

We'll also see how bad/good Tony La Russa was.

Meh. I'll miss Pujols. I'll REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY miss Dave Duncan.

LaRussa? Not so much.

Did Duncan officially retire with La Russa?

Taking a year off because of his wife's cancer is the official line, IIRC.

But with his buddy Tony gone, I seriously doubt he'll be back.

The guy is a ****ing genius - like Frankenstein putting good pitchers together out of the spare parts of bad ones. And I'll never forget in Game 7, where Carpenter was getting lit up early - Duncan went out to the mound, said something to him, and he was lights out for the rest of the game. Don't know what he said, but it clearly worked.

I am seeing that the Texas Rangers will be getting Fielder.

Reds are about to blow away the division.

Another bullshitter on Twitter, Incarcerated Bob, is saying the opposite of what the other bullshitter is, yeah.

My guess? He hasn't signed at all yet.

Please. I'm not all that concerned with the rest of the division - I'm concerned about the playoffs.

I read lips. He said, awkwardly enough sounding like Tom Beringer, "If you don't win this game I'm going to cut your balls off and stuff em down your ****ing throat."

He may have told him that he was breathing out of the wrong eyelid.

Like the lava lizards???

Yeah, this guy is a hack. He said Soria would be traded to just about every team that he could think to connect him with this off-season.

No I didn't get Bull Durham lip language. It was definitely Major League.

Or perhaps his chakras are jammed.

I bet he hasn't been wearing the garter.

I'm telling you.
He said Wild thing mother****er.

Smacked him with his cock and walked away saying, "winning" to the tune of wild thing.

I loved hockey,
thanks for keeping me up to date

C'mon it had to be some of his stronger sorcery, we're talking like Kent Bottenfield-level stuff guys.

Spot on....if Duncan isn't back the pitching staff is taking a HUGE downgrade.

I felt the same way when Leo Mazzone left for Baltimore and was replaced with McDowell. It actually turned out well for Atl, as Mazzone is now out of the game and McDowell and he has a damn good starting staff.

If this is true, now my $12 dixie cup sized mixed drink will now cost me $15....

The Nationals stadium have the most obnoxious price gouging. I prefer driving an extra 20 minutes to Camden Yards even though the O's suck right now.

He was gone during pretty much the entire month of September when the starters had their most consistant stretch of baseball all season.

It will hurt but lets not get carried away.

So, he'd be a DC Fat Cat.

Someone just tweeted he officially signed an 8 year deal with the Nats.

@jonheymanCBS

Is it Detroit or Washington?

Detroit makes no sense with Cabrera.

This is bullshit. Seattle sports radio guy got it wrong.

The real @JonHeymanCBS says Prince deal is for $214. That's over nine years.


Tigers To Sign Prince Fielder

By Ben Nicholson-Smith [January 24, 2012 at 2:02pm CST]

The Tigers have agreed to sign Prince Fielder to a nine-year, $214MM contract Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com reports on Twitter.

They're saying Tigers 214 Million 9 years

Yeah, what he said.

He's hashtagging it #tigers.

They better hope he can stay healthy

Yeah, Heyman's a legitimate source. Fielder is a Tiger...for a long time apparently.

WOW

That might be the dumbest contract ever given out and that is saying something considering the Werth and CJ Wilson contracts.

Whats wrong with the Wilson contract?

that's a lot of money for a very mediocre pitcher

Really? mediocre? Granted he sucked a big one in the playoffs but he was the Ace of the AL champs and posted a pretty killer ERA in a very hitter friendly park ( I want to say under3, and defintely on around a 2 on the road). Also, he signed for much less than the likes of Burnett and Lackey who have sucked all together, just too name a couple. 5/77 isnt that bad considering what players are getting paid these days.

EDIT: His overall ERA was 2.94--home was 3.79 and away was 2.36..Opponents avg was .232..not sure thats medicore

LMAO

This was on teedubya's Facebook page and pretty ****ing funny.

"As a kid, Prince Fielder wanted to be unique, and different than his Dad. So, he grew up, got really fat and signed with the Detroit Tigers."

Dangit. Not excited to have him in the AL Central with the Royals.

Now we get to deal with the fat ****er

Bummer... I've always liked him as a player, sucks he's in the division

Not in the NL East!!!!

Woohoo!!!!!!!

Hope the Tigers put a calorie count stipulation in that contract. That fat **** is about to start having galaxies orbit around him.

ROFL

Might change my facebook status to this. Love it!

A McDouble now is cheaper than a double cheeseburger 20 years ago. **** your rising cost of living theories.

That's the one thing I like about Fielder - dude's fatter than I am. Too bad I could never hit worth a crap.

I thought he was good in Purple Rain.
