"Roughly the same player"? Do you mean WAR wise? Because they come to their WAR through very different means. {nm}
Why is the Tigers trading Prince Fielder for Ian Kinsler? Nov 20, 17:35
this seems reasonable as the reason. Nov 20, 17:41
I understand Texas, but are the Tigers that cash strapped? Fielder is in his prime at 29. {nm} Nov 20, 17:49
luxury tax is a ****. and Fielder isnt the most healthy guy in the world, hes not going to get better {nm} Nov 20, 17:49
Fielder has never been hurt, playing nearly 162 games every year. {nm} Nov 20, 17:54
I'm talking about his long term health related to his weight {nm} Nov 20, 17:56
yup at that weight, "roaring right back" will get harder every year {nm} Nov 20, 17:58
That might be true, however, he has NEVER been the DL. {nm} Nov 23, 14:07
He had an off year in 2010 and roar right back. {nm} Nov 20, 17:52
His Base-Running (term used loosely) made a number of Highlight Reels. {nm} Nov 20, 18:57
I think the better question is why did Texas trade Kinsler for Fielder, Detroit got the better end of this trade. {nm} Nov 20, 20:07
Texas also got $30 Million Cash. Yahoo Sports Link. Nov 20, 20:23
that article doesn't say anything about Cash, but I missed that in the cbs sports link - immediate cash, long term debt {nm} Nov 20, 20:33
Sure it does - check the second Tweet from Jeff Passan. {nm} Nov 21, 06:28
Disagree. Kinsler is 32 and has had 2 down years in a row. As previously mentioned, Texas has Profar and Andrus. {nm} Nov 21, 10:14
Frees up money to extend Scherzer after 2014 and do more beyond; Fielder's "body type" doesn't normally age well; Nov 20, 20:36
They are roughly the same player, with slight edge to Fielder in OBP and OPS, big edge to Kinsler on SOs. Fielder Nov 21, 08:22
"Roughly the same player"? Do you mean WAR wise? Because they come to their WAR through very different means. Nov 21, 09:10
You are right-to clarify, i meant overall offensive stats. {nm} Nov 25, 08:11
