The average Jason werth season is .280 with 25 HR and 90 Rbi's
He has some defensive versitility as he can play center adequately

Washington has some talented guys coming through the system and have done a much better job drafting like tampa did in their rise to promeninence. But they never made a terrible deal like this that 4 years from now when Washington may be good they will be saddled with a 36 year old guy with so so power in decline making 20+ million a year, and still have 3 years left.

Would you pay Fielder? I don't think the Crew has a shot to keep him, but would you pay him $20-25mil for 6-8yrs?

If I were a team who had that kind of dough, I would.

Tigers have something like $25 million coming off the payroll this year. Should be players in various free agents.

Obviously it depends on the team but a 6 years at 25, yeah i'd do it

Nothing to do with Werth,
But what the hell is the story with Joe Mauer? I know he has had some leg issues, he has 2 hr's and is getting 23 million a year until 2018? It can't all be the stadium, right?

He has been hurt all year
He will bounce back though moving him from behind the plate does take away from his value even if it may keep him healthier
