Ian Kinsler will be the Rangers’ second baseman, Jurickson Profar in the
minors
There was a brief period in the early offseason when it was thought that
perhaps prospect Jurickson Profar would be given the Rangers’ second base
job, moving Ian Kinsler to first base. But that’s out the window:

I’m assuming Profar’s ineffectiveness and forearm inflammation in winter
ball put to rest any notion of giving him the second base job. If, indeed,
that notion ever truly resided in Ron Washington’s head. Kid is still 19
years-old, after all.
Profar, it would seem, will start the season in Triple-A, where he has yet to
play. He hit .281/.368/.452 in a full season in the Texas League last year
which is pretty astounding for a guy his age. But really, nothing will be
harmed and much could be gained by giving him some more time in the minors.
