Cody Buckel Scouting Report

OXFORD, ENGLAND - OCTOBER 8: Bristol Rovers manager Paul Buckle shouts instructions during the npower League Two match between Oxford United and Bristol Rovers at The Kassam Stadium on October 8, 2011 in Oxford, England.  (Photo by Ben Hoskins/Getty Images)

In the aftermath of the community prospect rankings wrapping up, we continue our write-ups for each Ranger prospect who finished in the top 25. Once again, I issue my usual caveat that I have no first-hand information about these guys, but am simply offering capsule scouting reports for each player based on the info that is out there...

After the jump, we continue by taking a look at the #11 player in the LSB Community Prospect Rankings, righthanded pitcher Cody Buckel...

Friday a.m. Rangers stuff

New Texas Rangers pitcher Yu Darvish, right, shakes hands with teammate Josh Hamilton after a baseball news conference at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, Texas, Friday, Jan. 20, 2012. The introduction came two days after Darvish and the Rangers agreed to a six-year contract. (AP Photo/LM Otero)

Really looking forward to the weekend, you guys.

T.R. Sullivan writes that the Rangers are looking at putting the finishing touches on the 2012 roster, with a Koji Uehara trade a possibility, and the Roy Oswalt situation looming.

Anthony Andro talked to Matt Harrison about the Rangers' offseason.

Richard Durrett's positional outlook continues with a look at shortstop.

Randy Galloway has a column on Josh Hamilton's contract situation and pending free agency. He talks about how Hamilton says he wants the team to be "fair," that there will be no hometown discount, and that Josh's "loyalty is first and foremost to the players' union." Galloway says he thinks "fair" is three years, $60 million, a deal that he acknowledges Hamilton wouldn't take.

Gil Lebreton has a column about the possibility of Roy Oswalt joining the Rangers, and the fact that if Oswalt did come to Texas, it would mean displacing Matt Harrison from the rotation.

BA: Pre-Darvish, Rangers have #2 system

Got my BA Prospect Handbook this afternoon and don't see any details listed on LSB yet. They Rank the Nats #1 and the Rangers #2, and the book was sent to the publisher before Yu signed. Their 11-31 in the Texas system:

11. Leury Garcia
12. Jordan Akins
13. Ronald Guzman
14. Robbie Ross
15. Justin Grimm
16. Tanner Scheppers
17. Luis Sardinas
18. Luke Jackson
19. Roman Mendez
20. Barret Loux
21. Will Lamb
22. Kevin Matthews
23. Kellin Deglan
24. Jake Skole
25. Tomas Telis
26. David Perez
27. Odubel Herrera
28. Michael Kirkman
29. Miguel De Los Santos
30. Nomar Mazara
31. Zach Cone

Profar's scouting grades are all 55-65 (power and speed are 55). BA also added actual player grades for all 930 players this year, a talent grade and a likelihood to reach ceiling, so that's pretty interesting.
