For the money it would cost the team to get Fielder, you can land an ace plus a front line starter. Not nit picking, just curious as to why you did that.
More based on the calibre of free agents. I'm not sold on Wilson as being ace material in the AL East, and Yu Darvish is promising but far from a sure thing.

Plus I think they have many more arms in their system than elite, game-changing bats. Not everyday you get a perennial all-star like Fielder hit the open market and not be bidding against the Yankees and/or Red Sox.
