Quick Hits: Fielder, Rangers, White Sox, Danks

On this date in 1995, the Orioles acquired David Wells from the Reds for Curtis Goodwin and minor leaguer Trovin Valdez.  This marked the second time Boomer was traded that year as he was shipped from the Tigers to Cincinnati at the July deadline.  Today's links..

• As Prince Fielder continues to look for his next home, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch takes a good look inside agent Scott Boras' infamous binder to see how he is framing his client.  The book on Fielder not only compares him to the best sluggers from today but also puts him side-by-side with some of the best hitters of all-time.
• Richard Justice of MLB.com takes a look back at some of Boras' best deals and tacticts that the agent has used in years past.  Justice wonders aloud if the agent will employ "mystery teams" to drive up the bidding.
• Even though the Rangers have a great deal of rotation depth with the expected addition of Yu Darvish, it's not a certainty that they will deal one of their starters, writes Buster Olney of ESPN.com (Insider req'd).  Even after the departure of C.J. Wilson, Olney rates the club's rotation as the sixth-best in baseball.
• The John Danks extension seems to indicate that the White Sox aren't ready to rebuild, but MLB.com's Scott Merkin isn't yet sure of the club's intentions.  Merkin says that the futures of Carlos Quentin, Gavin Floyd, and Matt Thornton will be telling.
