Willie Calhoun became the featured prospect in the Yu Darvish trade a year ago because the Texas Rangers, and just about everyone who has watched him in the minors, know that he is going to hit big-league pitching.
After a couple of games adjusting from Triple A pitching, Calhoun is, indeed, hitting. Quite a bit.
But for Calhoun to stick with the Rangers, he must be able to play left field adequately or the Rangers must trade primary designated hitter Shin-Soo Choo. But even if the DH spot unexpectedly opens, Calhoun will still have to play defense on occasion as Choo has done.
