He was a beast in Milwaukee, feels like yesterday he was smashing homeruns in a Brewers uniform.

Tim Tebow taking some hacks in the cage. He's been training for over a year apparently.

To be clear: Prince Fielder is not retiring. He is medically disabled and doctors will not clear him to play, sources say.

He's going to be filming himself throwing footballs in a field when he's 40 like Uncle Rico.

Isn't that the same thing just shifting "blame" to the medical people?

Either way, pretty sad to see this happen to Prince Fielder. I knew something like this was looming large after he got shut down this year with pretty much the same neck problem he had last time.

He was DA MAN in Milwaukee.

So is that still meaning he's retiring or staying on the 60 day DL indefinitely?

No, it has to do with being designated as disabled as opposed to voluntarily retiring.

This has been a known issue for a while now. The Dbacks have been looking at stadium sites in AZ for a year now. They'll most likely end up on Tribal land.

Hrm, okay then so it's a forced retirement?
