By now most of you guys know my thoughts on Profar. I see him as a future above average offensive player with the tools to be an effective defensive 3B or 2B if he’s able to clean up his inconsistent footwork. That boils down to a 3-4 win player with upside for more if he continues to improve his ability to lay off pitches out of the zone, where he ends up making a significant amount of weak contact.
Unfortunately, even if his upside is ultimately a year or two of all-star level production, that production comes at a time where the Rangers don’t expect strong odds of competition in the AL West.
