[QUOTE="FBallFan123, post: 3031284, member: 35697"] I don’t always like Fangraphs prospect content … but interesting they have Ezequiel Duran 3rd in the Rangers rankings with the same FV as Leiter and Jung (50). I don’t necessarily put that much stock in their FV designations, but interesting to note. Here's what they say about him: [B][SIZE=4]TLDR[/SIZE][/B] A little second baseman with shocking power for his size, Duran will need to prove he's more than just an aggressive, one-dimensional slugger as he moves up. [SIZE=4][B]Full Report[/B][/SIZE] Duran bounced back after his horrendous 2018 and hit for power (.256/.329/.496) in the 2019 Penn League as a 20-year-old. He looked comfortable in a handful of 2020 big league spring training at-bats before the pandemic, then picked up at-bats in the DR during the Fall. He's a stocky guy who only really fits at second base, and isn't very good there. As he continues to age he'll likely only be able to stay there with the aid of good defensive positioning, and even then Duran's hands need to improve. But boy, does he have power. His long, slow, aggressive leg kick helps him generate big pop, and he can move the bat head around the zone. The titanic hacks he takes create some swing-and-miss but this isn't a guy with a grooved swing, and there's impact bat-to-ball/power interplay going on here. This is a site that tends to avoid prospect comps unless they're flush to the prospect's profile, and Duran's is a dead ringer for Dan Uggla's. [I](DR Instructional League)[/I] [/QUOTE]
