"Let's say it in one simple sentence: The Nats would be nuts to sign Prince Fielder.

Nuts as in crazy, insane, daft, wacko, bonkers, loco, mad, et al.

For one thing, they don't really need him. For another, such a free agent signing at $150 million or so could seriously impact the Nationals' chances of getting Ryan Zimmerman's name on a long-term contract extension."
