Nightengale: Rangers meeting with Fielder today

PrintPer Bob Nightengale on Twitter, the Rangers are meeting with Prince Fielder "at a Dallas-area hotel" today.
This is pretty huge...my reaction to this news was the same as Adrian Beltre's after a certain home run last season.
Fielder, of course, is an elite-level first baseman who, as a lefty power hitter, would be a great fit for Texas, as his swing is viewed as tailor-made for TBIA, and the Rangers have something of a hole at first base. That said, Fielder's agent, Scott Boras, has reportedly been looking for a 200 million dollar deal, and the market for Fielder simply hasn't developed.
Of late, I've been wondering if Fielder might look at a one year deal and re-enter the market next offseason, when the Dodgers would (with new ownership) be a natural landing spot for Fielder, or potential the Mets (assuming the Wilpons sell by then) or the Cubs.
If so, Texas - with a hitters park, a strong lineup, and a playoff caliber team - would be a good spot for Fielder to go on a short-term deal.
It is unknown whether this is the case, if the Rangers are looking at Fielder long-term, or if this is just tire-kicking, but calling this intriguing is an understatement.

Fun...
Artie’d about dump in his own britches if the Rangers pull down Prince for a year or two… his “win now” enthusiasm would certainly get the pickle juice dumped on it.
And, King Albert’d get a kick out of being back in the same division as the Prince of Fielder… until the end of the season and they were looking up at our butts again… lol

Seems to me that if he's going to sign for a one-year deal and then re-enter the FA market next year, he'll be a Brewer in 2012.
If we can make this happen for 5-6/115-138, then sign me up.

Why would a one-year deal mean he's a Brewer in 2012?
And wouldn’t the whole point of signing a 1-year deal, for Fielder, mean avoiding the sort of contract you’re talking about, so that he could get the one he wants (and Boras wants) next off-season?

(1) Familiarity, competitive team, ballpark in which he's excelled, weaker league
(2) Yes. Which is why I think it’s much more likely that he stays in Milwaukee on a one-year deal than signs with us for a comfortable price.

I'd bet the Rangers Ballpark and the club's competitiveness,
plus a chance to pitch them on a “now you’ve got to know him, you’ve got money, sign him big and long-term” after 2012 would make Fielder and Boras at least pause to think about it.

I think that's probably true. I just don't think it's enough to overcome the (rather substantial, amirite?!) inertia keeping him in Milwaukee if it's just one more year.

That's something I didn't even consider
The part about Boras trying to use a 1 year deal as a sort of audition to show the team what they can get.

Adam J. Morris: "If it weren’t for my horse, I wouldn’t have spent that year in college."
I'd have to imagine that it'd still be Boras' least-favored option, but who knows?
If the right contract’s not out there…
And in terms of longer deals: while opt-outs tend to worry me a bit, Dave Cameron’s take on a hugely backloaded deal makes me wonder what the Rangers could structure.

The question is how heavily the overall value is distributed to the years following the opt-out

"Baseball's all that's real" - JB
They aren't ideal
But on a contract the size that Prince will get, an opt out really isn’t risking that much.
If you’re paying Prince $24M per year… the most optimistic person might see him as a 6 WAR/yr player the next 3 or 4 years, in which case, he’d opt out to get a raise to $30M or what not.
That’s not a huge loss on the Rangers part.
It really doesn’t make the deal that much worse for the Rangers.
The only way it kills the Rangers
Is if he goes all Vernon Wells on them and falls off the cliff before his op-out
But if the scenario is
We offer 6/130, and they counter with 6/130 + an opt out… then the opt out didn’t come into play in that situation.

This isn’t the same as signing AROD to play for a real shitty Ranger’s team. This is like McGriff signing with the 90s Braves, a team that was already good enough to win it all.

You are really that concerned about Fielder being bad after five years?
I didn’t say to be stupid about it. I said that you shouldn’t have those fears about signing this one player given the situation the Rangers now find themselves in. If Fielder puts us over the top, then I have no problem signing him to six years, no matter what happens after year 4.
This is especially true since a.) Tom Hicks isn’t here to screw it up, b.) Nolan and the Ninja are proving themselves quite capable of building a great team, and c.) there’s a shit ton of money coming down the pike, espeicially after our boys win the next three championships. :)
No guarantees that we’ll win with him, but there’s no guarantee tha he won’t earn all of his contract either, even if it does end up with ABs as a DH.
We should be grateful that there’s nobody like the Yanks and Sox around to drive up the bid. We’re fortunate in that regard.

BTW, personal attacks aside...
…question for you guys:
My suggestion, that you could likely piece together in my disjointed posts above (my apologies), is that I would swallow $50 million of a bad Fielder in years 5 and 6 of a contract given what most of us would expect he brings in the first four years. (All of which is conjecture anyway.)
So, how is that any different in overpaying $51 million THIS year for Darvish…a pitcher who hasn’t proven anything as of yet?
I’m all for the Darvish signing too, but it’s funny (to me) how we worry about wasting $50 million five years from now but have no problem spending an extra 50 million (beyond the actual contract of the player itself) to sign Darvish this year.
by Bats and Balls on Jan 13, 2012 6:03 PM CST up reply actions
Because one you pay up front
for a player who is 25 and likely to perform throughout the life of his contract. The other is 50 million you add to the 2016-2017 payroll at the cost of extending someone like X future superstar. One doesn’t have opportunity costs nor does it burden the Rangers with an untradable player with an untradable contract. THe other does. It’s pretty simple.

Whoh...
…okay, Fielder is 27. A fat 27, but only 27. I think man would likely say that there’s more likelihood in Darvish failing the year’s 5 and 6 of a contract rather than Fielder.
If Fielder gets fatter, at least he can still hit 50 HRs a year like his Old Man. Injuries and underperformance, IMO, are much more likely with Darvish, especially given his current mileage.
Again, I’m not opposed to either signing (not that you care), but I think we are kidding ourselves that Darvish is guaranteed to have better overall value that Fielder in a six year deal.
by Bats and Balls on Jan 13, 2012 6:16 PM CST up reply actions
Once again
you’re missing the point.
1st, that’s a lot of dumb assumptions. Power? It ages like shit. There was an article on how bad power ages just a few days ago. Read it. Assuming Fielder will hit 50 HRs even when he’s 33 or so is really. really dumb. It’s like assuming that 2012 Michael Young will be like 2011 Michael Young. Could it happen? Yeah. Will it? I don’t know, but most likely not.
Even then, the argument wasn’t about how good they’re likely to be, but the opportunity cost associated with it. THat 50 million for Darvish? That’s just operating cost, like when the Rangers install a jumbotron on their scoreboard. Darvish gets none of it, and it’s just a one time deal that’s at least partially tax deductible. It’s not a part of year-to-year operating cost. That 50 million for Fielder? That will be a part of the year to year budget. It makes it hard to sign guys like Elvis Andrus or Neftali Feliz when he inevitably reaches FA. It also takes up a roster spot for any future potential DH or 1Bs. It pays money to a non-productive part of your team. It’s like paying CHoP all over again. And that’s bad.

ANd once again
I find your whole operating assumption flawed. No one is worried about giving prince 8 years because they’re too afraid to take the chance. This FO takes fucking chances all the time. Literally every move they made this offseason is a chance.
People are worried about giving Prince Fielder a 8 year contract (or a 7 or a 6 or a 5) because not all chances are equal. There are certain players that age well – contact hitters, defensive specialists, even speedsters are surprisingly good at retaining value. Guys who don’t age well tend to be power guys with low BA, lots of strike outs, lots of walks – Prince Fielder, essentially. Add that to a bad body and it’s pretty clear to see why people are worried. Make no mistake – a bad contract cripples an organization – I don’t care if it’s Yu Darvish or Prince Fielder. It’s just a simple matter of the amount of years you’re going to have to commit to either

And, oh yeah...
…the time value of money dictates that paying out an extra $50 million upon signing is much worse than paying it out five or six years later, especially for a pitcher that could be one pitch away from retirement.

Not to jump on you, but this is such a tired bit by now
Yes, it’s hot in Texas. There are also other cities in the US that have outdoor baseball facilities in which it his hot.
And I think they made the point this year that the heat hurts the visiting team more than it hurts the Rangers. It’s almost an advantage.
And from a fellow big guys’ perspective, nothing wrong with dropping a few pounds while you do what you were going to do anyway.

Agree
But … and I’m not saying it’s all that likely, but how much do you think it weighs on an unsigned FA’s mind to see Madson settle for the deal he took?
He was looking at 4 years and comfort for life, and now he’s playing for a paycheck again in 2013.
Just saying …

Boras player goes and makes his own deal with the club he wants to play for …
And then that club never deals with Boras again.

I try to ignore all posts from this man concerning the Rangers..
Seems to have issues with our team for some reason other then being the blowhard that he is.
If I'm the Rangers...
I sign Fielder and let Josh walk next year. No guarantees with Josh..he may breakdown, etc. Going to have to revamp the OF anyway. Go for it again this year and then get to work on the OF. Maybe trade pitchers for OF prospects at the deadline this year.

Again, that's not my argument.
I suggested that a potential (but not probable) $50 million wasted dollars at the end of a six year deal shouldn’t play into our signing of a player that will likely put us over the top.
As I said above, it appears that we have little problem spending $51 million EXTRA on a Japanese pitcher THIS year to accomplish the same thing.
I think too many people around here are simply overly cautious, something understandably arising from the Hicks/Hart days, and should place more trust in current management.

Would they sell on Pineda now?
That seems on the surface like an indefensible move, unless some advance stats show that his success was heavily dependent on their park.
If they really want to turn things around, getting a clearing house of talent for Felix really would be the best way to start.
Felix and Pineda
I’m not sure if they’re on the same stratosphere as far as talent and future value. Pineda is really a 2 pitch guy, not that different than someone like Alexi Ogando. If they think it’s selling high, it makes sense – especially with Walker, Paxton, Hultzen et al coming.

but on a personal level. Lost his dad to cancer, got hurt all the time, was hitting really well and then just got deluged by a lot of shit. Poor dude.
Come back Justin! We still love you.

Will they let Montero catch?
better yet, will this lead to multiple Rangers getting 50+ stolen bases? Will Felix lead the league in wild pitches? This opens up so many questions.

I don't think anyone's disputing that.

I don’t know, man, That’d be an amazing lineup, with better pitching.

Still only 21, stuff still great, mechanics are clean.

Noesi has nowhere near the upside of Pineda.

You need to file a cease and desist.

without even begining to look at numbers, this actually seems like a good move for both teams. Though, I think either one could end up as big bust on their new teams. They’re moving to the opposite kind of parks that would play well for them.

This is completely the wrong team for Smoak, and vice versa.
What happens if he tanks the first month and a half? Dude needs an environment where he can struggle and not worry about losing his job.
Baltimore?
or the Astros or I suppose the Mariners would have been good fits, except no offensive player is a good fit in Safeco

"If the Saints can reach the Superbowl, the Rangers can reach the World Series." - PhilKid

I think
the fact taht we’ve carried Davis and 2nd half moreland at different parts of the last 2 years proves that it’s not impossible for us to carry him, even if he were to struggle for a month and a half.
"If the Saints can reach the Superbowl, the Rangers can reach the World Series." - PhilKid
The Animated Ballpark in Arlington
Davis was canned the first time for Smoak even though Smoak probably wasn't ready.
This team is also in a much different position than they were in 2009 and 2010 when Davis bombed.
They frequently subbed Moreland with Napoli/Face/Torrealba. Why wouldn’t they do the same with Smoak if he was here and struggled again?
