Kluber is coming off of one of his worst years to date, posting a 2-3 record, 5.80 ERA, and a 1.654 WHIP. He was injured most of last season, so he only played in 7 games.

Lynn’s 2019 was arguably the best in his career, with a 16-11 record, 3.67 ERA, and a 1.219 WHIP. Lynn was a sleeper candidate for Cy Young Award, and finished 5th overall in voting for it.

Minor also had a career year last year, posting a 14-10 record, 3.59 ERA, and a 1.238 WHIP. Minor finished 3 places behind Lynn for 8th overall in Cy Young voting. Lynn and Minor were often called one of the top 1-2 combinations, and it shows.

Lyles had an impressive 2019, although it was a small sample size. He had a 7-1 record, a 2.45 ERA, and a 1.108 WHIP. This is one of the most underrated additions to our rotation this season, and he can definitely provide something to this team.

Gibson had an average 2019, with a 13-7 record, a 4.84 ERA, and a 1.444 WHIP. While also a decent addition, he won’t be in the spotlight much this season.

Even still, no one sees the Rangers as a team that can do anything this year. Overall, the Rangers rotation should be considered as a force to be reckoned with this season.

Huff is currently playing for the Single A Hickory Crawdads, being sent down from the High Single A Down East Wood Ducks. In the 30 games he played for Hickory in 2019, he posted a .333/.368/.796 slash line, which is high enough where he should be considered for a promotion back to Down East. When taking all 4 years of his time in the minors into consideration, he has a .264/.328/.473, which is considerably worse.

Since Huff has played the majority of his games at the catcher position, his fielding stats are a little different than other positions. He has a .990 Fielding Percentage over the 4 years in the minors, which is respectable for a catcher. He has a 34% Caught Stealing Percentage, which when compared to modern day catchers, would be slightly above average.

Huff won the 2019 Futures Game MVP award, because of a game-tying 2 run home run in the bottom of the 7th inning. In the Futures game, there are only 7 innings, so this sent the game to an extra inning and prevented an AL loss. Notable Rangers player Joey Gallo won the same award during the 2014 All-Star Futures Game at Target Field in Minnesota.

Overall, while Huff has not put up considerable numbers during his 4 years in the minors, he still is a top 5 prospect for the Rangers. There are not enough decent prospects on the list where he should fall much. He earns a B- rating for all of these stats, when put together.

Jung has been on a mission to reach the big league club since he was drafted, ending the season at A level affiliate, Hickory Crawdads. While playing for the Crawdads, Jung has put up a .287/.363/.389 slash line.

Jung’s fielding during his time playing in the Rangers system has been outstanding. He has put up a .980 fielding percentage, although a small sample, would place him #1 among active MLB players. Jung’s range factor per 9 would place him at #6, tied with Mike Moustakas with a 2.68 RF/9.

Taking in all of these stats, Jung definitely can defend his #1 spot on the list of Rangers top prospects. Jung is certainly an A prospect, although he is overshadowed by the great number of amazing prospects in baseball today.

In the first half of the 2019 season, the Rangers bolstered a 48-42 record, which placed them 3rd in the division at the time. The second half of the season was not very kind to them, causing the Rangers to have a 30-42 record after the All Star break.

With the shortened season, we may only see the MLB play 80 to 100 games, which may allow the Rangers to blossom. If this is the case, the Rangers could possibly earn a playoff spot as a wildcard spot in addition to all of the players that are new to the team this season.
