What Happens when Brewers.com Lets a 5 Year Old Write News Reports

Just checking in quick; I got an e-mail from the Brewers about the recent Prince Fielder contract. I challenge all, in a Where's Waldo type game, to locate one of the most redundant and poorly-written sentences of all time. Game on.

According to two reports, Fielder is guaranteed $18 million in the contract -- $6.5 million in 2009 and $11.5 million in 2010 -- plus a $1 million signing bonus.

He can reportedly earn an additional $250,000 in each season if Fielder reaches 500 plate appearances. A healthy Fielder should easily reach that milestone if he stays healthy; he has had at least 648 plate appearances in all three of his full seasons with the Brewers.

A healthy Fielder should easily reach that milestone if he stays healthy; he has had at least 648 plate appearances in all three of his full seasons with the Brewers.

  1. That sentence is a Zen mind puzzle. How does a healthy Fielder stay healthy?.... Who am I?
