Braun extension

I sincerely doubt that there is even a modicum of truth to this. Braun is worth far more than that and his value will increase with experience.

I am holding a press conference to announce this afternoon that I will be coming out of retirement.  After 10 years of rest I expect my arm to be very lively and I will be performing surgery on opposing hitters.  I will be signing a 3 year contract worth 4 million per season plus a club option for a 4th year. 

Reliable sources say this is a good move for the Brewers to finally hire the services of the Surgeon to join the starting rotation.

The source is a good friend of mine that works for the Brewers, if you don't believe me I don't care.  I just thought I'd share the good news he gave me.  Some of you are getting so worked up its sad.  When the contract is announced you can apologize and suck one.  Have a pleasant day.

LOL. This is funny. Hopefully the contract gets worked out.

Hey stub, I can understand what you are saying.  You just wanted to give people a little taste of some insider info, maybe break up all of the gloom and doom that lives here now but you can't rat out our source.  Some people dont get that because they want it all.  They want to have proof so they can run to their little roto friends and say, "you heard it from me first". 

If it works out, you become a go to guy for info and if not,  you lose your cred.  I just hope your friend is credible and for some reason I think this could be a real deal so count me as one of the people saying thanks for the info.

should have been "your source".

I agree, if this is true, that Fielder becomes the next big question. 

If, at some point during the off season, it becomes painfully clear that Boras and Fielder have no intention of signing a long term deal, how do you deal with Fielder at that point?
