Some Financial Perspective on Fielder Contract? $65,144.59 per day, every single day, for the next 9 years.

Fielder is a great player, but I have a hard time thinking that giving any player that kind of money is a good investment. Same goes with Pujols - perhaps it is also how long both of the deals are that worries me.

I saw the Rangers get fucked by overpaying for the best ($250 mil for A-Rod). The Angels and Tigers are in a different situation - they both have very good teams without the big name additions, so perhaps the decision will pay off for them.

In the end, I think the Rangers made the right decision; they could not afford both Hamilton and Fielder and I think Hamilton was the better choice.

That's more than Mitt Romney's daily income.

If somebody told me I could make that much every year for the next 9 years, I'd ask where to sign.

Approximately $148,000 per game. $5,400 per out.

The Tigers will need a bailout in a few years

No player is worth that much money for that length of a contract. He will not be the same in the last couple of years of the contract but he will still be getting paid.

This number is technically wrong because you forgot to account for leap years.

That's a lot of taxes too.
