Fielder is not a healthy Vegetarian, to Fielder being Vegetarian means eating French Frys, Cheese Pizza's with 5 types of cheese, pasta with 5 cheeses, extra Naan bread with veggie indian food, lots of candy bars, ice cream, potato chips, nachos, baklava, falafels, doritos, etc which means he ends up taking in more calories.

alex, i'll take ignorant assumptions for a thousand, please.

i don't know if the rangers have to pay his salary, but if not, then that will be two of the richest albatross contracts in history that the rangers were able to get out from under without having to pay all of it.

sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.

Better production?   What exactly are you basing that on?  Raw OPS?  Because well... TBIA and Comerica are not Angel Stadium.

I don't think you realize how much time Fielder has missed, or that he has actually been paid more money since they both signed..  AP has doubled Prince's bWAR (14.1 to 7.0),he's hit almost 50 more HRs and driven in well over 100 more RBI...  Fielder's been paid 119 Mil to date, AP -- 100 mil.

So, other than potentially retiring and leaving all that money on the table it's really hard to argue he's been more productive or provided more value.

 

but but but he won the home run derby . . . TWICE!!

We always talk about the myth of the home run derby ruining your swing...its obvious of you win 3, you die

[Blarg]

You hire @calscuf to sue the double double amount out of them.

Cecil Fielder lived down the street from my family when he had his stint with the Angels. Prince Fielder was in 8th grade at the time, and dude was already giant. He was apparently hitting batting practice home runs at Angel stadium as a 13-year-old.

[John Stellman]

He and Hamilton can commiserate all the way to the bank!

I'm a Vegetarian. I lost weight with the diet but then gained some back as sometimes the only Vegetarian options from a restaurant is a cheese pizza or french fries with extra french fries(when the place lacks a veggie burger).

Indian food is healthy but then I end up getting a bunch of Naan bread with my order that makes my meal unhealthy lol.

ah, okay, didn't realize that MVP. 

of course the real path to success is having a quality casserole, like at a church potluck. so, in short, prince needed to go to church more often.

I was gonna make a joke about going to churchs chicken instead, to make fun of meals without good food (meat)(unless ice cream), but then realized id look like a racist, so i wont.

Ive heard that. Ive read something about he and GA going head to head in batting practice and little prince fielder holding his own. 

Like i said, its too bad. He was a likeable player. Sucks to see guys like him go out on less than their own terms.

I think if Fielder stuck to having Indian food without the bread he'd lose weight. All the Dal dishes, Paneer ones & chickpea ones would be healthy as would Malai Kofta(Veggie meatball curry). Of course then there is Thai Curry with fried tofu thats good.

[Troll Daddy]

Doesn't really matter if the Rangers have his contract insured. What matters is if his money owed counts against the lux cap or not?

[Troll Daddy]

If Prince never returns to baseball ...

Cecil and Prince will end their career with the same number of HR's ... 319

Crazy coincidence, he finishes his career with the same number of home runs as his dad.

Any kind of Curry is usually good, Mexican curry = Mole' sauce.

The most popular dish in England is Tikka Masala curry with chicken, veggie version being with Cheese(Paneer) or soyprotein fakemeat.

They are both terrible contracts but 30 mill a year for another 6-7 years is unreal 

It's 5 more years of an average of $28M/yr.
