Former top prospect Jurickson Profar done for 12 weeks

10-12 weeks. Slight muscle tear.

Can't really look back on Kinsler trade now. Jurickson needs to play everyday, and it was the right thing to do at the time. We also needed a big bat in front of Beltre, and Prince fits the bill nicely.

What is Kinslers batting average so far in spring training?

They have a couple of journeymen in camp, Adam Rosales and another I can't think of.

There is also a couple of good infielders in their farm system, so they haven't made that call yet.

Texas has no future, it all fell apart when Hamilton left

dude Hamilton hit under .250 last season.

The reason the Rangers won't make the playoffs is no starting pitching depth.

Rangers would make that deal even today. Profar is the future....he can't have another player handcuffing him. You don't change that opinion based on a 10 week injury.

Also, its not like they gave up kinsler for nothing, they did get someone in return. Maybe you've heard of him. His name is Prince Fielder.

Profar was projected to hit 8th. He is a non factor.
Rangers will put up runs but when Darvish is not on the hill
will they be able to get anyone out?

Rangers clearly dont put a value on pitching
