ARLINGTON -- Delino DeShields has been called a second baseman and an outfielder, a future star and a Rule 5 Draft pick, destined to become better than his father and not good enough to make a Major League roster.
DeShields, though, has learned to transcend the labels of the past, and as a part of a Rangers lineup in flux, there's no telling what his future holds. He says he's all about staying in the moment.
The only thing that's clear right now: DeShields is quickly becoming arguably the most exciting player in Arlington.
"Steals bases, hits triples, hits balls in the gap, he can play good defense, he can do it all," first baseman Prince Fielder said.
