JURICKSON PROFAR RUMORS
Midwest League Prospect Update
With the closest Midwest League stadium five hours away, my providing first hand scouting coverage of that league is difficult to say the least. Fortunately, a contact has been kind enough to provide me the scouting scoop on more than a handful of the league’s top prospects. These aren’t exact quotes, but summaries of conversations had over the course of the first two...

Minor Accomplishments for Week 6
A week ago, I updated Jurickson Profar with news that his hitting streak had reached 21 games. Well, Profar’s streak has now swelled to 29, the longest in pro ball this year. With the graduations of Bryce Harper, Mike Trout and Matt Moore, Profar takes over as the game’s top prospect and it’s not too soon to start considering how and when he fits in with the...

The 2012 Minor League Report – Week 7
Shortstop Jurickson Profar (TEX) extended his hitting streak to 25 games at Double-A and has now reached based in 34 straight games. He has more than held his own at AA at just 19-years-old and he is now hitting .291 with four home runs, 19 RBI and six stolen bases in 148 at bats. He is going to present the Rangers with an interesting dilemma in another year when he is ready for...

Bond strong between Ranger prospects
Mike Olt and Jurickson Profar definitely have a lot in common. Not only is this pair of Frisco infielders regarded as two of the top prospects in the Rangers organization, but they are also currently teammates with the Double-A Roughriders.
However, the similarities dont end there for this dynamic duo of Texas farmhands. They also became good friends after being teammates with...

Jurickson Profar: Just How Good Is He?
Jurickson Profar is the consensus best prospect in the minor league system for the Texas Rangers. Just how good is he? Well, it turns out he may be even better than was previously thought.
In February, Kevin Goldstein of Baseball Prospectus released his rankings of the top 101 prospects in baseball. Profar, naturally, was the top Rangers prospect on the list. Additionally, Profar...

Rangers 5x5 2012 Prospect Rankings
The Texas Rangers have graduated some talent from their farm system over the years, and they have another talented wave on the way. They have talent up the middle, starting with their top prospect. They also have some intriguing lively arms. Most of their best hitters are in the low minors, but they should prove worth the wait.

#13 Jurickson Profar
Texas Rangers
DOB: 2/20/1993
Previous Rank: N/R
ETA: 2013
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. Holy ****. He’s really, really good and has so much more to gain before he actually arrives in Arlington. An aggressive international scouting department was...

Jurickson Profar The Next Rangers Star?
In three years scouting prospects, the instances in which a highly touted prospect is even better than advertised are few and far between. In the case of Texas Rangers prospect Jurickson Profar, I arrived in Greenville expecting to see a talented, but maybe not elite shortstop prospect and left with a firm belief Profar was the best true shortstop prospect in all of baseball.
