Jurickson Profar Draws the Start at Second, Goes Hitless
7 years agoTexas Rangers utility infielder Jurickson Profar started for second baseman Rougned Odor at the keystone against the Athletics. Hitting in the seven spot, the former top prospect was unable to make the most of the opportunity, leaving three on base while going hitless across three at-bats. Profar has yet to register a hit on the young season, but the Rangers are really hoping that with more consistent playing time he can turn things around in 2018. There's still some value in Profar, but he'll have a shorter leash than other top utility options. If he doesn't hit early, he could lose all value for the foreseeable future.
