Can the Brewers keep Prince Fielder?

eric good to see another season ticket holder here.
don't be so sure that prince wouldn't go to the yankees, a lot of things can change and the al has a dh.

you think the yankees are going to pay 20+ mil for a DH? they are stupid but i doubt it.

i dont think prince would sign to DH this early in his career. his defense certainly isnt good, but he's worked hard to get it to a respectable level and takes some pride in it. Personally, I think he wants to stay....just not sure if the brewers will have the $$$ to make boras happy. He can sign a 5 year deal and still get paid to DH for the yankees after that. I say 60% chance he stays.

milwaukee doesnt like to spend money and i was surprised they signed braun for such a big contract.im sure they will try to trade him before the deadline and get something cause milwaukee doesnt make the money to pay him.they had there run the other year and blew it so now they will oribably not spend any big money until after the meeting with the unions.

Gonna_Win · 03-25-10, 08:55 AM

Don't think they can handle such a huge contract with fielder

dcb11 · 03-25-10, 11:24 AM

He would look good in a BUCCO uni

If we had the money

fastpitch_45 · 03-25-10, 12:44 PM

if its at all financially possible, they have to make an attempt...if not trade him for some pitching at next years AS break

icsky3 · 03-25-10, 12:54 PM

I thiiink it is possible......no need to trade that big fuker

stealthyburrito · 03-25-10, 05:08 PM

why leave a good situation in Milwaukee? that place he can put up big numbers for the rest of his career

nitty48 · 03-27-10, 09:00 AM

He will be gone by the trade deadline this year

scarp · 03-27-10, 11:57 AM

They will prob let him go. Chance to keep him since a lot of other good players on the market

Not true.

Bud Selig didn't like to spend money. Mark Attanasio hasn't been shy about throwing some money around and it has paid off. First playoff trip in 26 years and record attendance. If there was any time to shell out the cash for the big man it would be now.
