One of the few cat-calls of the involved Rangers fan over the past few years has been the phrase "Top baseball prospect Jurickson Profar".  Profar was expected to be a middle-infield talent at least equivalent to Elvis Andrus in value, with the same quickness, reach and instincts; more power and less speed.  After a disappointing 2013, Profar was shut down with a torn muscle in his shoulder.  Expected to be the starting second baseman in 2014, Profar re-injured the shoulder in Spring Training and has spent the entire year on the disabled list.  Rangers General Manager Jon Daniels announced today that Profar's shoulder still is not healed, and the young infielder will be off the roster for a further three months.  Profar is still quite young, but after missing a year and a half of pro ball you have to wonder how long it will take to get him back up to speed next year.
