The Texas Rangers had several intriguing starting pitching prospects going in the minors today, though given the number of intriguing pitching prospects the Rangers currently have, you can probably say that most days.
The headliner was Taylor Hearn, the 24 year old lefthander who came over from Pittsburgh in the Keone Kela trade last year. Hearn started for Nashville tonight, and went up against Forrest Whitley, the Houston lefthander considered one of the top pitching prospects in all of baseball. Hearn allowed a single run on a Derek Fisher home run, walking four and striking out four in 5 innings.
