With names like Jose Leclerc and Rougned Odor dominating the Rangers headlines these days, it’s easy to forget about Jeffrey Springs. The left handed reliever was called up at the end of July after Texas dealt Keone Kela and Jake Diekman at the deadline.
The 25 year old currently is ranked as the 29th prospect in the Rangers system according the MLB Prospect Watch. Spending time in both Double-A and Triple-A this year, MLB Prospect Watch didn’t project Springs to crack the big leagues until next year but with the need for bullpen depth, he’s been thrust into a middle reliever role for Texas.
