Christmas Day Rangers things

TOKYO - DECEMBER 15:  Prince Fielder of the Milwaukee Brewers reacts as he teaches catching skills to members of the baseball club while visiting Minamisuna Junior High School as part of the Major League Baseball (MLB) International Ambassador program to promote the game of baseball on December 15 2010 in Tokyo Japan.

Merry Christmas, everyone.

Just one thing out there this morning, a cryptic blog post from Gerry Fraley saying the Rangers are lurking "on the edge of the market" for Prince Fielder, and could jump in on him in January, they way they did with Adrian Beltre last year.

I agree.

I’ve been saying it all along this offseason too. If they do it then the offseason will have gone pretty much exactly how I wanted it to.

But I have a pretty good idea why Prince hasn’t been signed yet. And think that when the time comes, the Rangers do make a ton of sense.
