Again, I understand why it's a risk, but let's not miss the point on how good Fielder is. He's a better hitter than anyone we have on our team. I would much, much rather give Fielder that kind of money than give it to Josh. You can't just wake up any off season and sign a hitter the caliber of Prince Fielder.

Alright, lets look at Vladimir in 2010 - 29 homeruns and 115 RBIs for roughly $8 mil. Pretty good value. Can we put Napoli on the list? He was signed to be DH last year but turned into the starting catcher.
Hank Blalock in 2009, 25 homers. Milton Bradley in 2008 22HR and .321 avg.
