They need another pitcher more than they needed Fielder. A lot more.

That's assuming Fister is actually as good as his half a season in Detroit suggests. I wouldn't bet on it.

He was great all of last year, he just got more run support in Detroit. And he was pretty decent in 2010 too, always had great command but learnt to strike batters out.
He is due for a bit of regression, but he is still a more than capable number 2. Hardly walks a batter, and gets a lot of ground balls. He isn't pitching in Safeco any more, but Comerica is still pretty pitcher friendly, iirc.
so where is cabrera going to play now i dont think he would want to dh anytime soon
also i think they will have a longer window than 3 yrs all three are only in their late 20s

I believe he's moving to third.

Good luck with that.
He started off at 3B, moved to LF and then to 1B, and his weight has only gone one way.

One of them will be DH by seasons end.

Addiction is a disease and I truly feel bad for the guy. Having said that, we're all responsible for our actions in life and he just cost himself any chance of getting a long term deal with the Rangers. You simply can't trust him.

New post season structure, is a go for this season.
Going to be a mess this year since they didn't change the schedule, but I think it is a good move. Winning the division is now rewarded, and the WC teams have some kind of penalty. The only problem for this year is the 2-3 format for the lds series. Hopefully this gets sorted out for next year.

MLB showed a few innings of Darvish's spring training starts. I hope they do have this game on for free. I'm so excited for the season! I have managed to put away the heartbreak of Game 6 in a deep and inaccessible corner of my heart (don't think I'll ever be able to forget it though). As they say, third time's the charm.
Also, my head is still spinning from the deals that were handed out to Votto and Matt Cain. I guess baseball owners are not hurting for money these days!

Those were dumb deals.....Votto is not worth that much let alone 12 yrs.....Cain is a very good pitcher but how do you bring back Lincecum now???

Nah, Votto's a stud.
They are obviously expecting a bit of inflation. Paying a premium for locking him up for his prime years. 12 years is pretty long, but the Annual Average Value is pretty cheap for a player of his calibre. If he can continue producing at 6-7 WAR for the next 5yrs, and then doesn't go into too much decline, I think it's a good deal.
It's a risk, but a calculated one.
