Why would the cut off date for super 2 status be any later this year?

“or a versatile player who can defend around the diamond.”
This seems to describe Ty Wigginton right?
Also, I don’t think it will happen but having Morales around until 2013 wouldn’t really preclude the Angels from trading for Fielder. Prince could play at first this year and then when Matsui leaves next year Fielder and Morales could alternate at 1B/DH to keep both of thier bats in the lineup.

Except Wigginton can’t defend. He is versatile and his bat is useful, but he’s a below-average defender.

You’d have a $8-10m first baseman and $20m DH. Not good.
Fielder would be great on any team and his bat is truly elite. However, he needs to play 1st base in order to justify his paycheck. DH really should be the realm of great sluggers that can no longer field/run. And because they can no longer field/run, their price tag is slashed drastically.

If anything that sounds like Jose Bautista

The NL East has the most exciting young talent in baseball in recent history. Heyward with the Braves, Davis with the Mets, Strasburg with the Nats and Stanton with the Marlins. The Phillies are the only team without a top prospect coming up, and they don’t really need one.
You could put together an all-star team with NL East rookies.

Why wouldn’t the Angels want Kendry Morales AND Fielder on the same team? Fielder’s defense is complete garbage, and the Angels have gotten absolutely nothing from the DH position this season (.682 combined OPS from DHs).
Perhaps they don’t want to spend big dollars on a DH, but Prince Fielder is barely a 1B.
