Rangers' Jurickson Profar: Will play outfield in WBC

Team Netherlands manager Hensley Meulens said Profar will work as an outfielder in the World Baseball Classic, Peter Gammons of Gammons Daily reports.

Analysis:

Gammons also confirms previous reports that Profar will start in the Rangers outfield against right-handed pitching. Working in left field during the WBC should help him hone his defense at a position he has played only fleetingly before. With his new clear-cut opportunity, Profar, who was the No. 1 prospect in baseball on many lists heading into the 2013 season, is worth a dice roll in deep fantasy leagues as a post-hype sleeper entering his age-24 season.
