If 99% of us are in the same position, we do the same thing. It isn't something exclusive to star athletes to take the most money.

The Brewers will be competitive, one player doesn't usually make or break the team. Many instances of star players leaving and the team did just as good or better. Even if Fielder returned, winning 96 games is no guarantee. I think the Brewers will be a 85+ win team, if things break right 90 wins isn't out of the question and that might be enough for the division or a wild card spot.
