He wasn't speaking for the majority, trust me. We Cubs fans may be blissfully ignorant, but even we're smart enough to recognize that Pujols is a better hitter than Fielder. However, Fielder is five years younger, and he is just starting his prime years, where Pujols (logically) should be finishing up his prime years in the next couple of seasons. To me, Fielder appears to be the better long-term investment, whereas Pujols would be more of a short-term boon.
If the Cubs would go for another season-long suck in 2012, one of the best things we can hope for is that Soriano plays out of his mind up through the All-Star break, so we can ship him off to some idiotic team in need of a outfielder for the stretch run.
