Center field was a weakness for the Texas Rangers last season. They afforded Delino DeShields most of the reps, and while he was great defensively, he was absolutely dreadful offensively. DeShields provided so little at the plate that Texas had to go out of their way and move corner outfielder/first baseman/third baseman, Joey Gallo, to center.
By all accounts, Gallo did an excellent job in center field. But it’s not in the Rangers’ best interests to keep him there long-term. So, the team needs to find a new center fielder.
If they want to look to free agency, Adam Jones would be a very good option.
