Fielder deal is done.
UPDATE: It's done. Two years, $18 million.
Via Tom H:
All the signs are pointing toward the Brewers announcing a two-year deal with first baseman Prince Fielder, if not today, then probably tomorrow.

Dude.
I am now preparing a devastating barrage of profanity and name-calling. By the time I’m done, you’ll think you were at the other BCB during a Cubs/White Sox game.
"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"
And by the time I'm done, you'll be looking for another place to write about the Brewers. :-)
I don't specifically articulate my motives, because that wouldn't travel as well as a boo does.
wow. i totally missed all the fun...
serves me right for spending the last few days catching up on my tivo-ed episodes of murder she wrote.
Dick Van Patten did it.

Post updated.
Thanks!

If anything
Fielder had a tendency to press a little when the pressure is on. I think getting such a deal done really might lighten that pressure a little, hypothetically resulting in better production. Now all we need is for this hypothesis to be proven.
I think they did to $1.19 or something like that
The designated hitter rule is like letting someone else take Wilt Chamberlain's free throws.
This is ?
Well hearing Uke say Fielder to Right and Deep is awesome, but only 2 years?

They will still have him under team control for one more year after this deal
But they’ll avoid an arbitration hearing this year, and avoid the entire process next year.

Sorry - Don't Like it
This move, IMHO, is nothing more than an attempt to lick Scott Boras’ sphincter hoping that he will play nice in 2012… which we all know that he won’t.
I don’t see a big financial advantage to locking Prince up for next year for $10-12M giving the injury risk – like beaching himself.
I will retract these comments if Doug comes out and says that Prince has returned to his playing weight of 2006. But unless he has lost those 50 pounds I don’t think that this was wise.
