#13 Jurickson Profar<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Texas Rangers<\/p>\n

DOB: 2\/20\/1993<\/p>\n

Previous Rank: N\/R<\/p>\n

ETA: 2013<\/p>\n

As an 18-year-old in the Sally League, Profar very nearly slashed .290\/.390\/.500 as an elite fielding shortstop, earning him the SAL MVP.\u00a0 Holy shit.\u00a0 He\u2019s really, really good and has so much more to gain before he actually arrives in Arlington.\u00a0 An aggressive international scouting department was able to sign Profar out of Curacao while he was a 16-year-old.\u00a0 He made tremendous gains at the plate in 2011 in terms of all three hitters\u2019 tools.\u00a0 He even walked more times than he struck out.<\/p>\n

Profar is an exceptional defender and gets above average grades for his footwork, arm strength, and hand agility.\u00a0 His bat track from both sides of the plate is textbook and produces quality bat speed and carry.\u00a0 What\u2019s perhaps most impressive is that he has only been hitting from both sides for two years.\u00a0 There is nothing to knock with Profar except that he might be a couple inches short.\u00a0 Get ready, because in a couple of years there is going to be a huge debate about where to put Elvis Andrus<\/a><\/strong>, Ian Kinsler<\/a><\/strong>, and Profar, because they all need to be on that diamond.<\/p>\n
