UTIL Brock Holt

Every MLB team should have a Brock Holt-type on their roster, the Texas Rangers included.

Holt will turn 33 in June but can play almost every position on the diamond, including at second base, third base and in the outfield.

He’s never been much of a hitter, as his .557 OPS and 51 OPS+ across 106 plate appearances in 2020 with the Milwaukee Brewers and the Washington Nationals are nothing worth writing home about.

Holt has made an All-Star team in his career, however, doing so with the Boston Red Sox in 2015.

Even if the 33-year-old utility man can’t be of much service with the bat, he most definitely can be all over the field, a Swiss army knife profile which every manager desires to have on his bench.

Holt’s down 2020 season means he can easily be had on a one-year deal, if not even a minor-league deal with an invite to Spring Training.

To add a player with Holt’s experience and versatility can only be helpful to a roster as young as the Texas Rangers’.
