Amid the early offseason commotion generated by the Angels and Marlins, the Rangers (JD and Nolan) look to be positioning themselves quite well.

Aside from them working to sign Japanese pitching Yu Darvish this week, they also had Prince Fielder in for a visit, and are inquiring about adding Roy Oswalt to the staff, who is also a Free Agent this offseason after Philly declined their option. If you can get him for the right price, he could help bolster the rotation.

Much more interesting is the Prince Fielder visit. Signing him would seem to indicate the Rangers may not look to extend Josh Hamilton long term. When Josh is on he is one of the best in the league. He has lived a hard 31 years though and without fail seems to break down with injury at some point in the season. Fielder on the other hand has been consistently healthy and consistently productive. He's also only 27.
