(We start a series today examining issues the Rangers must sort through when spring training begins in Surprise, Ariz. on Feb. 19. Today: The recovery of Jurickson Profar)
If the aim of spring training is to put together a roster for the start of the season, Jurickson Profar's spring matters not one bit to the Rangers.
Barring an injury to another middle infielder, there is no chance he makes the team.
The more important long-range issue is Profar's health. After missing two full seasons due to shoulder issues that were initially treated very conservatively before last-resort surgery, the goal of spring is for Profar to start re-establishing value.
