Other factors that might affect Prince's future
pete replied to alorrigan's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
but I would think team revenues would be really important. If the Brewers go to the postseason and compete, how much more money can they make? When Mike McCarthy had his salary doubled, I wondered if the Packers made a couple million just in merchandise money when they went 13 and 3 and were competitive in the playoffs. Then there are additional ticket sales and TV revenues. I have no idea what the neighborhood the number is for Packers or Brewers. I think being part of a competitive ballclub would be a big incentive to working out a contract as well. I guess the flip side is that it would mean that the team and no doubt Prince is performing at a high level and deserving higher compensation. -
I would take him over Howard for many of the same reasons stated by others already... with some Homerism mixed in I confess. My impression is that he improved as a batter of the course of the last year as well. One example: early, opponents would use that Barry Bonds shift on him and that disappeared as his opposite field hitting improved. IIRC, his draft projections and part of the reason he was available, was because he wasn't expected to reach the level of performance he already has due to weight. Is he fat? That's a relative term. Hard to imagine he doesn't fit most people's definition. Height/weight charts are approximations across a range, but there is a point where everyone there is "overweight." I can remember him remarking that he was trying to keep his weight down early in the season. How about the need for a mansiere? Can a person have low body fat and still need one of those? I'm sure its not great on his feet, ankles, knees and back regardless of the fat/non-fat breakdown. I went to physical therapy over a long period of time. There were always 5/6/7 stations going at all times while I was there. I heard a lot about a lot of injuries while I was there and the talk to a new knee rehab client usually began with the phrase "the knee is a load bearing structure," followed by the admonition to trim down or stay that way.
