Simers: Want to boost the value of the Dodgers? Sign Prince Fielder

In which T.J. Simers bashes Frank McCourt for not signing a player no other team seems overly hellbent on signing:

Frank McCourt’s disregard for Dodgers fans continues.

The bidding process for the Dodgers officially begins Monday, 97 days to go with the Parking Lot Attendant, but he’s not leaving without taking the team down another notch.

He has a chance to offer Dodgers fans some hope, about the only thing baseball fans ask for as a new season begins.

[...]

And yet Prince Fielder sits unsigned.

I want the Blue Jays to get him so bad so I can atodaso my recent ex. Not out of spite, just cause she would hate the deal....Ok, maybe a little out of spite. But I would mostly just love to see Bautista/Fielder every night for the next few summers. It would be like Manny/Ortiz all over again for the AL East.

That being said, they won't sign him.

Prince is going to get paid big cash. The btf community will overwhelmingly critique deal as too much.

Fielder-to-Dodgers went from being pie-in-the-sky two days ago to being the rumor of the day today (although all of it seems to be based off a single Joel Sherman tweet).

It's an interesting situation, but unless McCourt goes nuts as some sort of parting gift to Dodgers fans, the speculation doesn't seem to make much sense financially or from a baseball standpoint.

@2: It's amazing. You're continually predicting one GM will give Fielder too much money and too many years, and insisting that when people point this out that they're insane. I'm impressed.

that's definitely more years than nearly everyone had predicted
