I'm going to need you to define "nearly as well". The guys that hit "nearly as well" as Prince Fielder still get paid an awful lot of money.
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.
