Darvish to push Feldman down depth chart?: The Rangers won the bid to gain exclusive negotiating rights for Japanese pitcher Yu Darvish on Monday night. The bid was reportedly worth $51.7 million. While the Rangers still have 30 days to negotiate a deal with Darvish , Scott Feldman's already-dim hopes for a rotation spot have taken a serious hit. Feldman made just two starts -- and 11 appearances overall -- with Texas last season, but he may now fall too far on the depth chart to be used as an emergency starter or swingman next season.

Fantasy Analysis
Feldman went 2-1 with a 3.94 ERA in his 32 innings of work for the Rangers. Assuming that the Rangers do sign Darvish, Feldman is likely on his way back to the bullpen full-time, which means he won't be worth taking on Draft Day in 2012. (Updated 12/19/2011).
