Good point, and something I just saw on mlbtr.com was the attraction to the Latin community that Pujols would have brought to Florida as opposed to Fielder.
Also - says Pujols turned down 21 million extra dollars to go to Anaheim instead of Florida. Also noted with Florida's lack of a state income tax and incentives - the Marlins offer would have amounted to 300 million. That's some nice milk kitty.
