www.baseballbytom.com It's mid-January and Prince Fielder still hasn't signed with a new team. The Washington Nationals have been the front runners for the majority of the offseason, but the Texas Rangers have been courting Prince of late. Despite committing a ton of loot to Yu Darvish, I believe Texas will find a way to sign Fielder, as well. Where do you think he'll end up?

Bailey's addition likely means Daniel Bard (3.33 ERA in 73 innings in 2011) will shift from setup man to Boston's starting rotation. Earlier this month the Red Sox traded for right-hander Mark Melancon from the Houston Astros. Melancon, 26, had 20 saves last season but will likely slide into Bard's setup role. “I love the Bay Area, but if you're going to get traded, I can't think of a better situation for myself and my family to be in,” Bailey told mlb.com. “It's a big market, big team, and I'm excited about the opportunity to win over there, especially knowing Bobby (manager Valentine).” Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington told RedSox.com the team likes Bailey's track record and character. “He's done it for three years in the …
