For position players are suicide?
I was thinking about this tonight as I watched Prince Fielder go a 15th straight postseason game without an RBI. I was also thinking about this earlier in the season as I watched guys who had recently signed big, long-term, guaranteed deals like Pujols, Hamilton and Mauer slowly just disappear. Why do franchises keep falling for these traps? It's one thing to lock up an ace lefty, but a first baseman or an outfielder getting a decade guaranteed at $20-25 million per? Wake up. I won't go as far to say these guys are a dime a dozen, but they definitely aren't worth the kind of coin they're collecting on a yearly basis either.
