OT: First Pujols, Now Prince: Good time be in the NL

[187]

Prince signed a 9 year deal worth $214M in Detroit. Seriously liking the Dbacks chances in the NL this season if they play like they did last year.

Glad he is out of the NL!

 

[crisper57]

This is huge for the D-Backs. I am glad he is out of the NL.

STL: Older, Lost Best Player
PHI: Good, but still older
MIL: Lost MVP for 50 Games, Lost Other Stud
AZ: Added Pieces without losing much
SF: Didn't add much after tanking down the stretch

Maybe MIA can give the D-Backs a run iwith all their additions, but other than that, everyone else is taking a step back. This is the year the NL Crown is within reach.

 

[Beaver]

Thats a pretty hefty contract for a DH...

Cabrera will move to 3rd and Prince will play 1st.

 

[coyoteshockeyfan]

Another guy who won't live up to half the contract.

Cincinnati is going to be one hell of a team. They are probably favorites in the NL right now.

They're Cincy. They'll fade down the stretch. That's what they do.

What moves have they made?

 

[Gee!]

Im just amazed that Detroit has this much money to throw around.. Arent they one of the hardest hit cities from the economy and other internal issues (car factories)? Where are they getting this money from? Not that I care where Prince went, just amazed..

Every time you eat at Little Ceaser's Pizza, you are helping pay for Prince. The owner of the Tigers is also the owner and founder of Little Ceaser's.



Pizza, Pizza!

Oh ya.. He just recently bought the Tigers right? He owned the Red Wings for years.. I knew this..

The pizza is ok, but the Crazy Bread is where its at.

 

[Diamondback Jay]

Cabrera moving to 3B will quickly move disasterous. While he manned the position earlier in his career, suffice to say he's not as thin or as mobile as he was then.

One of these two will move to DH, the other will man first base.

Getting Mat Latos was a pretty good pickup for their rotation.

Maybe, if a few bounces go their way, you can toss Washington into the mix as well.

They will need some middle infielders with terrific range then!

Made a great trade for Mat Latos and then made the signing of the off-season by getting Ryan Madson for 1 year and $8.5 million.

Ok - we countered by adding Cahill and Saito

I'm not saying the D-Backs don't have a shot at winning the NL but Latos/Madson is way better than Cahill/Saito. I do believe that the Reds and D-Backs should be considered in the top group of teams along with the Cardinals (yes they lost Pujols but they added Beltran and get Adam Wainwright back which most people forget) and the Phillies (can never count that rotation out. They need more offense though).

I'm surprised the Tigers didn't pay Prince in pizza.

Truth, but first and foremost, win the division again and get in the tournament. Shouldn't be that hard given the fact that the other teams in it are horrible.

Ah, but now we've avoided arbitration with Ziegler, so that puts us over the top!

I wouldn't say way better, to me Cahill and Latos is about a wash, but will agree Madson is better than Saito.

Whenever I see his name I think of Toby Ziegler (who was a Yankee fan on the show though). Did anyone watch the West Wing when it was on?

Every week. Especially when Emily Procter was in the cast, before a larger role on CSI Miami
