He's young, he's a lefty, and he's been producing in the NL. Imagine his swing in our ballpark. Secondly, even if signing him means we lose our beloved Josh, just imagine the one year where we have both. Two power hitters from the left side to go with the rest of our lineup.
Best case scenario:
1. Sign Yu
2. Sign Prince
3. Win the ship in 2012.
4. Josh plays out of his mind in the 2012 playoffs forcing the Rangers to resign him. =)

Agreed - not negative at all.
Bottom line, given Ryan's comments today, I would actually be surprised if we aren't working hard to find a way to get Fielder here. Might not happen, but I would be very surprised if we just ruled it out given his price. Tire kicking is most definitely taking place. Here is hoping we decide to upgrade our Pinto (Moreland) with a Viper!
