Your right, probably a soft year for Fielder, however, I can't think of one person I'd NOT want to give a long term big money deal to. He's going to age twice as fast as anyone else. That body is going to ravage his ability 5 years from now.
How are we to know that? He's been about as durable to this point as any player in the league, playing in at least 157 games in every season he's been in the majors.

David Ortiz is also a big man and he's been successful into his mid 30's, which is where Fielder will be if he signs an 8 year deal.

I think the concerns about his body have been blown out of proportion.
