Taveras highest-ranked Rangers prospect in BA Top 100

The fine people at Baseball America have released their midseason Top 100 prospect rankings, though they will wait another month before slipping 2018 draft picks and July 2 international signings in the mix.

The Texas Rangers held with three top 100 players, though there has been a shuffle.

Triple A outfielder Willie Calhoun is no longer regarded by BA as the Rangers' top prospect, as he slipped from 38th to 55th despite his recent surge at the plate. He's now the third-highest ranked Rangers prospect behind Class A center fielders Leody Taveras at 46 and Julio Pablo Martinez at 49.
