2013 Texas Rangers Top 16 Prospects

Posted on January 7, 2013 by mlbdirtstaff

Toolsy, middle infielders are thick as thieves in this system. Between Jurickson Profar (SS), Leury Garcia (SS), Luis Sardinas (SS), Rougned Odor (2B), Hanser Alberto (SS), it’s quite possible this is the reason the big club is considering moving Ian Kinsler off second base with Profar knocking on the door and if the others continue to develop making it easier to replace Elvis Andrus at SS if they are unable to sign him in two years. Overall, this is a system going through a transitional phase, but the upside of talent is still one of the best in the game. -Dave England

Below are our top 16 prospects with 2013 opening day age, position, and comments on each player. Below the top 16 is a small list of additional notable names. Enjoy.

Posted on March 13, 2012 by Jonathan C. Mitchell

Below are my top 16 prospects with 2012 opening day age, position, and comments on each player. Below the top 16 is a small list of additional notable names. Enjoy.
