Fielder done for the year

And there's certainly no guarantee that he'll be the same quality hitter next year as he was in the past.

The contract the Rangers are saddled with looks ridiculous at this point.

As long as he can learn to hit for contact, he'll be okay. Which remains to be seen.

This is Dan Uggla's problem on the Atlanta Braves right now - he's always been a swing-for-the-fences hitter, and now that his bat speed has started to decline, he can't hit.
