5) Third baseman Joey Gallo is ranked ninth by MLB and is fifth on the Texas Rangers list.  When Gallo was signed out of high school, he was a two-way player, but no longer wanted to pitch.  Rangers knew he could hit and he proved them right in 2012 when he broke Arizona Rookie League’s single-season HR record.  In his first full season, Gallo led the 2013 minor leagues with 40 HR.  He has a plus arm and raw power, but he strikes out often.  If he can learn how to swing and hit more consistently, he’ll be a solid choice at third base for the Rangers.
