If the Brewers are seriously interested in re-signing Prince, they better get the deal done soon because when Pujols gets his new deal, $200M/8 years may seem like a bargain.
Quite simply, even though the Prince is young, his size would rule out an 8 year deal for him. I just don't think his knees can take it for that period of time. Further, if I'm an insurer, would I take on that contract with that issue?
I am being very serious--I don't think I can think of any other athlete with that physique that didn't have knee issues at some point in his career.
However, as a Reds fan, I hope Milwaukee ponies up and pays so they can deal with that albatross for years and years.
Where we gonna go?
