Texas Rangers Minor League Standouts on the Mound

Yesterday we looked at the Texas Rangers minor league standouts at the plate, so it is only natural that today I would look at the players who are excelling on the mound. The Texas Rangers are building a good farm system, and it has shown in the majors so far in 2014. I know that they are under .500 and they are not winning many series these days, but when a team has the amount of young talent at the major league level, you have to expect some of that. The Texas Rangers are fielding a few veteran players around a very young team. That being said, let’s see who will is performing well in the minors on the mound!
