SAN FRANCISCO ¨C Depending on whom you ask, Jurickson Profar, an infielder in the Texas Rangers¡¯ system, is either the best middle infield prospect in baseball, or simply the best prospect in baseball.
What matters most at the moment is that the 20-year-old is one of the players who will be attempting to finish off the Netherlands¡¯ Cinderella story at the 2013 World Baseball Classic.
¡°This is going to be my first time playing for them, and it¡¯s a great honor for me,¡± Profar said Saturday. ¡°I¡¯m very happy to be here. You can see right away why they¡¯re winning. They¡¯re great guys, great manager, great coaches. So I¡¯m proud.¡±
