19 yr old out of the Bahamas the Rangers gave an astronomical 3.2 million $ to sign under international players he is skyrocketing through the Rangers system as a shortstop . Seagar is Seagar a WS MVP twice but Walcott is one of the top prospects in all of baseball .

Look forward to Rangers 2025 after a disappointing 2024 and Leiter & Rocker DeGrom Eovaldi Dunning rotation . Play Ball !!

It’s not certain Walcott will play SS in the majors. He has a plus arm and can possibly play RF or 3rd (but there’s Jung). He’s 18 so there’s time. If they need him at SS, Seager can slide to 2nd maybe. Sieman maybe dealt idk. It’s too early to speculate. I still remember when Profar was supposed to be the next big thing. Right now, Walcott isn’t ranked as high as Profar was (the number 1 prospect in baseball).

I think he turned 19 . Probably a few good solid yrs of AA and AAA from the bigs . Maybe debut in 2027 . It’s nice to have highly thought of players in the near future . I could see sliding Semien to an LF in a few yrs create an opening slide Seagar to 2nd . Jung is spectacular if he can stay heathy .

I thought of Jurickson Profar as well with Walcott . Remember when Texas traded him .

Yep, he wasn’t ready for the majors then. I’m happy to see him have a respectable career. So many high prospects that that fail on their original teams flame out. He at-least kept at it.
