Do You think Fielder Is Coming To The Cubs?

**DewsSox79** · 12-16-2011, 03:01 PM

just taking the pulse of the fans on how they feel right now. Try not to just base everything off of the media, take all variables to make your opinion.

**Rice Cube** · 12-16-2011, 03:02 PM

Nah. It'd be nice, but I think they're in stealth rebuild mode.

**cubsneedmiracle** · 12-16-2011, 03:02 PM

I think its logical. To us (because we don't really have anyone else to fill the void at 1B)

I don't know how logical it is to him or to what other offers he's gotten.

Prince wishes to stay to the east of the Mississippi river. That's something that people are forgetting. The Mariners probably won't be able to offer him enough to completely uproot and go 2,000 miles west.

The Mets can't afford him (and still have Ike Davis), the Phillies have Howard, the Marlins are spending money they don't have, and the Braves have Freeman. That leaves the Cubs in the NL.

To me, it's almost a process of elimination...in combination with the fact that the Cubs have the pressing need for a power hitter in the lineup (we have NO ONE now that Ramirez is in Milwaukee), and that there won't be a FA hitter like this for many years...

I've always said no. It's possible. But I still say he won't be. Unless it on like a 4 or 5 year deal. I'd be really surprised if Theo handed out a 10 year deal.

At what Fielder would be asking(around 20-25 million). 6 or 7 even seems high.

I wanna say yes, but it's yes or no not yes or possibly so no
