I think Prince is loved here but I also do think there is a natural speration a fan starts to have when he knows the player may leave. I do it. I love Prince but I notice myself not gushing over him as much so that when he leaves I can pretend we'll be ok. Some people might be a little quick to criticize him with the attitude that if he doesn't want to be hear then we don't want him (that sounds way too harsh but you get what I'm saying). So ya, I really don't think there is much of a double standard but I guess some people may be distancing themselves from him a bit. As for Prince doing dumb stuff, Braun has too (pimping homeruns, giving looks, saying things to the press, etc) but they are all really small things. I have no problems with how either of them have handled themselves. Hope we can find a way to keep Prince and be able to sign pitching but just not sure it's in the cards. I think most of us will appreciate the little time we may have left with Prince but I think we also sometimes try to trick ourselves about how fun he's been to have on our team.
