Prince Fielder could have vetoed the blockbuster swap of All-Star players that sent him to the Texas Rangers less than two years after signing his big deal with Detroit. The slugging first baseman decided to take the fresh start with a new team. "Obviously, its another good team, " Fielder said Thursday, a day after being sent to Texas for second baseman Ian Kinsler. "I didnt think it was going to be a bad thing and plus, most of all, I thought it was going to be good for everyone. I just wanted everyone to be happy." Fielder was only two seasons into the $214 million, nine-year contract he signed with Detroit before the 2012 season, when the Rangers were also a suitor. Their offer was nowhere close to what the five-time All-Star got then. While playing all 324 regular-season games for the Tigers the past two seasons, Fielder hit .295 with 55 home runs and 214 RBIs. But his 25 homers this year were his fewest over a full season, and he didnt drive in a run in 11 post-season games before Detroit lost the AL championship series to Boston in six games. "It was cool. The season was fine. It is what it is bro," Fielder said during a brief conference call with Rangers beat writers. "You cant take it back. Everything is cool. We got to the playoffs. Unfortunately we didnt get where we wanted to go." The Rangers plan to formally introduce Fielder in a news conference Monday. Fielder provides Texas manager Ron Washington with a middle-of-the-order threat in a lineup that still includes Adrian Beltre and Alex Rios, filling one of the teams primary off-season wants even before baseballs winter meetings. "It gives us some direction the rest of our off-season," general manager Jon Daniels said late Wednesday night. Fielder is a .286 career hitter with 285 homers and 870 RBIs in 1,322 games with Milwaukee (2005-11) and Detroit (2012-13). In 13 career games as an opponent at Rangers Ballpark, he hit .265 with four homers and 15 RBIs. Before Fielder went to Detroit, he travelled to Dallas to meet with Daniels and other Rangers officials. Daniels said that was helpful this week when making a decision in a trade that came together quickly. That also played into Fielders quick decision to accept it. "It definitely didnt hurt. Everybody was real nice, and I liked the guys," Fielder said. "It definitely will be different. Its definitely going to be new. Yeah, Ill take it, I guess, a fresh start." As for the Texas heat, the big first baseman spent some of his preteen years living in the Dallas area and isnt concerned about playing every day in the summer months. "I kind of like it. Obviously it keeps you loose," he said. "I play every day, the heat actually is good just to be able to get muscles loose, especially later in the season as the body starts to get tired. For me, whenever its warm, Im just loose and better actually. Its definitely going to be hot, but its not going to be a problem." LeBron James Grey Jersey .

LOUIS -- Shane Victorino is out of Bostons starting lineup again on Monday night. Victorino was scratched from Game 4 of the World Series on Sunday because of lower back stiffness. Jonny Gomes, Victorinos replacement in the batting order, then hit a tiebreaking three-run homer in a 4-2 win that tied the Series against St. Louis at two games apiece. "Shane is much improved from yesterday and probably could have started today, so hes available at full capacity," Red Sox manager John Farrell said before Game 5. "The only question going into today was the duration in which he might be on the field. So rather than putting ourselves in a position where if weve got to make a move and force our hand to eliminate a player, this way we can use him at our discretion." Dustin Pedroia, David Ortiz and Gomes each moved up a spot in the batting order, with Pedroia batting second, Ortiz third and Gomes starting a game at cleanup for the fourth time this year, according to STATS. Daniel Nava was droppedd from second to fifth.dddddddddddd Nava was in right field in place of Victorino for the second straight day. "With the change in lineup, I feel like we need to lengthen out the lineup behind David," Farrell said. "We havent really put together many big innings, and thats a credit to their pitching. We feel the more we can lengthen out and give ourselves chances up and down the lineup, thats where were at today." Bostons Nos. 7-9 hitters were 2 for 43 (.047) with two walks and three RBIs in the first four games. Allen Craig is part of a revised St. Louis Cardinals lineup for Game 5 of the World Series and playing first base for the first time in the post-season. Craig was inserted in place of Matt Adams and batting sixth in a straight switch against Red Sox left-hander Jon Lester about two hours before the first pitch Monday night. Craig hasnt played defensively since Sept. 4 when he sprained a ligament in his left foot. He scored the winning run in Game 3 on an obstruction call.
