Texas Rangers Need to Make Prince Fielder Primary DH

Nominally, Prince Fielder is the Texas Rangers starting first baseman. After all, he has played more games at first than anyone else, and the majority of his appearances in the lineup have come with Fielder needing his fielding mitt. However, this is pretty much a matter of semantics, as Fielder has played seven games at first and appeared as the Rangers designated hitter six times.

Given Fielder’s heft, as well as his injury issues from last year, it may be fair to wonder as to whether or not the Rangers would be better served by keeping him away from defense.
