Dave Cameron laid out a great argument the other way...which I can't find, of course. | |

I'm not sure you're wrong about Fielder's future, but catching Pujols going forward isn't a big problem for a young stud, which is Keith's point. Look at A-Rod's trajectory as a point of comparison. Pujols is not more athletic. |

Evidently Scott Boras has showed up at the GM meetings with a Prince Fielder Binder that's designed to convince GMs that Keith Law is right. That should liven things up. | |

Bold prediction from Jim Bowden at ESPN Insider: Prince will be decked out in Dodger blue next season. | |

Prince continued to hit more grounders than flies to the end of the season. And now is at the top of Keith Law's free-agent rankings at ESPN Insider.
He offers an impressive package of plus power, patience and ability to hit, while playing a capable first base, and is likely to hold that offensive value for the majority of that next contract, even if it reaches eight years. For a big guy with wide hips, Fielder is able to turn on the inside pitch surprisingly well, a testament to both his bat (and hand) speed and the fact that he's pretty athletic for his size... The risks are obvious -- that he regresses against left-handed pitchers, that he doesn't continue to work to stay in shape, that the fact that a third of his walks in 2011 were intentional is causing us to overstate his patience -- but they are more than mitigated by the chance to get a premium bat who is productive and durable for all his prime years. So what Keith is saying is that Prince will have better stats than Albert from this point forward. The only way that happens is if the suspicions about their true age differences (Pujols thread) turn out to be true. |

Looks a lot like last year in terms of HR production, but he's rebounding to 2009 RBI levels, which should make him a lock to earn the numbers above. What's up with the upside-down GB/FB ratio, though? The good thing is that the Brew Crew looks to be in it all year - so Fielder shouldn't have a change of address. |

I agree with Eugene. Expect a rebound, but there is a risk in an NL only. I'll say $30, but he will likely go for closer to $40. | |

He looks like a Saberhagen type. Good one year, great the next. He's never had a SLG between .510 and .600, yet his lifetime SLG is .535. The good news is that even in a down year for his BAvg and SLG, his OBP was still up and he led the league in walks. All that said, I think you have to make any price based upon his career averages, not his stratified individual seasons. Plus, the Rotisserie theory of a contract year push has never been verified by any longitudinal study of actual statistics. There are great observed histories, but those don't bear any fruit once put through a scientific analysis. (Observer bias) There's a risk he will get dealt to the AL that has to be considered, even if a little, in any bid. But, the Brewers are set up to make a run at the division this year and I'd expect them to try to hold on to him if they are at all in contention. |

I'd say 33 ... but duck him 5 in an NL-only league because there's a 20-30% chance you don't have him after July 31. Which probably means I don't get him. | |

What should the bid be? I'll be continuing today to seek advice on the tougher calls. |
