Suspension for Braun Overturned

For those who didn't hear, Ryan Braun's 50-game suspension was overturned yesterday. I think it's a crazy verdict, but I guess it will be fun to watch Braun come back this season right away? I don't really know the whole situation, but I thought this was very interesting since this was the first substance abuse case to get overturned in MLB history. The reports have been that the league did a lousy job of keeping track of the urine sample and they can't be sure if his had a certain amount of substance in that sample. I think that's weird... but nonetheless, baseball starts soon so that's good!

Prince Fielder to the Tigers

Prince Fielder is making beaucoup bucks as he signed with the Detroit Tigers for nine years worth $214 million. Now come on, really?? Prince Fielder is decent, definitely can hit the ball which will be a problem for pitchers in the American League this year. But unlike his name implies, he's not a great fielder... I think Pujols definitely deserved that contract, because he can pretty much do it all. I don't think Prince brings the same value to the game as Pujols, but we'll see...
One thing that sucks a lot is that the Twins are gonna have to pitch to him this season. We just don't have the pitching to win games against hitters like the Detroit Tigers have. Pretty much this deal sucks for the Twinkies, but we were gonna suck anyway this year. Really I'm not too disappointed in it, just a little shocked that Prince is earning this much money. Maybe it will work out for them, and I wish Prince the best of luck this season. Let's see if he can prove me wrong.
