The Texas Rangers haven’t had a steady first baseman since Mitch Moreland and Mike Napoli at the beginning of the 2010’s. Fans have seen the likes of Lance Berkman, Napoli (again), Joey Gallo, Ronald Guzman and Danny Santana man the first base bag over the years, and it’s time we see Guzman step up.
The Rangers have big time power bats in the farm, waiting for their opportunity in the big leagues. Curtis Terry, Sherten Apostel and others have the makings of being quality first baseman in the future, but for the Texas Rangers in now. It’s between Guzman and former Yankees top prospect Greg Bird.
