Texas Rangers Minor League Standouts on Offense
At the rate the Texas Rangers are being injured this season, it never hurts to keep up with the minors. Plus, if i do it for you then all you have to do is read this instead of going and doing all of the research yourself! I am trying to make life easy and entertaining for you! That is kind of our goal here! We will start with offense.
Myrtle Beach Pelicans: Now that Joey Gallo has moved up to the next level, I guess it is finally time for us to talk about someone else in the Pelicans organization! I am going to give you the top three in several categories. Those categories are:
Batting Average:
Outfielder Royce Bolinger – .308
Outfielder Nick Williams – .305
Second baseman Edwin Garcia – .300
RBI:
Catcher Jorge Alfaro – 43
First baseman Preston Beck – 40
Second baseman Chris Bostick – 38
Home Runs:
Catcher Jorge Alfaro – 8
Second baseman Chris Bostick – 7
First baseman Preston Beck – 6
Of course Joey Gallo, future Texas Rangers third baseman, still leads the team in all three of these categories even though he is now with Frisco. He finished at A ball batting .333 with 21 home runs and 50 RBI. Just for the record.
