What’s the buzz from the world of sports? Here are some items that will have people talking:

Don’t worry, Prince Fielder. As speculation builds that the Seattle Mariners might make a pitch for your services, don’t you worry about what Safeco Field does to hitters.
Never mind that Jeff Cirillo and Scott Spiezio and Rich Aurilia and Richie Sexson came to Seattle as accomplished hitters and then suddenly couldn’t hit. Never mind that Adrian Beltre has been more successful both before and after his time in Seattle. Never mind that Safeco reduced runs by 15 percent last year.
You’re on track for a Hall of Fame career, Prince. So don’t worry about a ballpark that can crush the soul of hitters. Besides, Safeco is built for left-handed power hitters. Yeah, that’s it, it’s made for left-handed power hitters.
