The Texas Rangers signed Ariel Jurado for $50,000 out of Panama in 2012. Jurado has spent four years in the minor leagues and reached Double-A last season. If Jurado continues his success could Rangers fans expect to him in the big leagues in 2017?
In 2016 Jurado went 8-6 3.66 ERA in 24 games (22 starts) with 106 strikeouts. He spent those 24 games between two leagues. Jurado will likely start the season in Double-A, but moving quickly to Triple-A is possible, and even a call-up to the MLB is not out of the question.
