Mitch Moreland is an American League All-Star, and that's great.
Moreland spent the first seven years of his career with the Texas Rangers, who didn't re-sign him as he hit free agency for the first time following the 2016 season.
He burst onto the scene in 2010, and hit the Rangers' first home run in a World Series game. He was going to be the first baseman of the future after Justin Smoak and Chris Davis, previous first basemen of the future, we dealt away ahead of the July 31 trade deadlines in 2010 and 2011.
