    Profar was once the number 1 prospect in all of baseball. They're in completely different realms.

    Eight words I'm quite sure NO ONE ever expected to hear...

    Elvis - Andrus - batting - cleanup - for - the - Rangers - today.


    Wow.
    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

    If you're willing to use really small sample sizes like that, Profar strung together a .295/.351/.428 first half with 4 2Bs, 2 3Bs, 5 HRs, and 15 RBIs last season (173 ABs).

    Has to be at least as successful as Wisler's been at any point up to now. If the Rangers want Wisler for Profar, sign me up!!!
    I would do that deal easily too. I was merely responding to the assinine comment that he is trash and has always been trash. And yes, a glimpse is a small sample size. Do you know what a glimpse means? It's not much. The notion that it would take Julio to get Profar is bat sh*t crazy though.

    If we can get Profar and Gallo for relatively cheap, it's worth the gamble. They are the types of position players we should take a chance on

    You clearly don't understand what potential is, dude.

    Why it would be a package of two or three guys. On the flip side Profar (no matter what his rating used to be), has flat out sucked.

    You never know. The padres traded Anthony Rizzo for Cashner and Luis Valbuena if I recall correctly so might be worth a shot.

    I wouldn't think they would be interested in AAA pitchers who've been shelled in the majors though.

    Yeah, had forgotten that the prevailing forum mentality was "trade Vizcaino." It's only taken a month into the season to get it started back up. Inciarte was another one of the list.

    Outside of FF and Folty....no one should be safe on this team if the right deal comes along. Think if we would have held on to Shelby. I'm afraid no "right" deals are out there though.
