Aaron Goldsmith "Voice of the Frisco RoughRiders"

Rangers prospect Jurickson Profar has received a large amount of publicity recently and is constantly rumored to be a player other teams are trying to acquire in trades, Do you think we will see Profar in Frisco this season?

Selfishly I wish we would, but I really don’t see that happening.  I think if he ended the season in High-A Myrtle Beach that alone would be very impressive.  He’s only 18-years-old and, like Martin Perez, has so many people watching his progress and development.  It’s a lot of pressure to put on a kid, but all indications so far show that he can handle it.  Maybe we’ll get a chance to see him in 2012.
