This week’s Texas Rangers minor league news: Hans Crouse gives up his first run, Leody Taveras stays hot and Julio Pablo Martinez gets promoted from Low-A to Advanced-A.
Many were interested to see where the Rangers would send Martinez to begin the year. They decided Single-A Hickory was best. Though, 10 games in, the #2 prospect in the system was promoted to Advanced-A Down East. Martinez is 23 years old, so it’s time he starts making his way through the levels.
He’s 0-for-7 with his new team, but it will be fun to monitor his progress, along with new teammates, Leody Taveras (#6 prospect) and Bubba Thompson (#5 prospect).
