that he didn't want to switch positions in mid-season during a stretch where he knew he was playing for a contract and wanted to be as comfortable as possible. He was already switching teams and parks.
I could live with that, but he'd have spring training to adjust and it is an easier position to play. You'd think he'd be okay with it.

This is what I was talking about below. I rather shoot the wad on Prince Fielder. That would be a bold move for 2012 and the long-run.

That is high. If we gave him Zito type money, I thought 20% raise or ~7 years $130 - 140 M.

Agree, + he is 35. But if you get him for 3 years max 10-12 per you have to make that move IMO

I never read anything negative about him from the beat writers
