Everybody said so what if Ilitch wants to spend 200 million on Fielder. It's his money. Problem is we now have over half the payroll tied up with 3 players. The money isn't unlimited and now we need to find another starter, a 2nd baseman, a closer, a shortstop soon and probably a right fielder. The upper two levels of the farm system are empty. Nice to have that power hitting 1st baseman though [[even if he can't field).

Sorry folks I'm just bitter because I have tickets for the series in Cincy this weekend. Oh well, it's only an 8 hour drive from Toronto and Joey Votto is pretty good.
