2016 Texas Rangers minor league rosters

2016 Texas Rangers minor league rosters:  The Texas Rangers have released their minor league rosters for the 2016 season.  Particularly noteworthy is that Joey Gallo, Nomar Mazara and Jurickson Profar will all be at AAA to start the season, while Lewis Brinson will be at AA Frisco, along with Ronald Guzman.  Most of the exciting low-A Hickory pitchers from 2016 will be in High Desert to start the year -- Ariel Jurado, Yohander Mendez, Luis Ortiz, David Perez and Collin Wiles will all be at high-A.  Dillon Tate and Brett Martin will be at low-A to start the season, along with a whole host of exciting high-upside guys.
