Double-Video Situation: Chris McGuine s HomeringTexas First Baseman Someday, Maybe: Chris McGuine sChris McGuine s is a 24-year-old first base-type within the Texas system who has sat (sitted?) atop the SCOUT batting leaderboard (below) for nearly the entirety from the Arizona Fall League season. He was also again, per SCOUT he seemed to be among the top hitters within the Double-A Texas League this year. In the two cases that is, both the Arizona Fall and Eastern Leagues McGuine s continues to be old relative to his league/level (or, a minimum of over the age of a prospect proper could be).Heres who Chris McGuine s is, in case you want to understand: a 13th-round pick in Air Jordan 13"CP3" '09 from the Citadel through the Boston Red Sox. Heres who else: area of the package sent by Boston to Texas within the 2010 trade for catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia. Heres who, also: a left-handed batter who hit .268/.366/.474 (.302 BABIP), 134 wRC+ in 530 plate appearances at Double-A Frisco earlier this season.With the departure of Mike Napoli in the Rangers this offseason, there are more questions for that club at first base and DH Air Jordan 13"Hologram" than there has been in recent years. As things stand right now, some mixture of Mitch Moreland, Mike Olt, and Michael Young is likely to fill the 2 roles. Purely being an exercise, Ive listed below the 2013 OLIVER projections for those four players below.PlayerAVGOBPSLGwOBAChris McGuine s.238.320.416.323Mitch Moreland.261.320.433.327Mike Olt.248.331.485.350Michael Young.285.326.402.319It appears, from this, as if McGuine s wouldnt be the worst-case scenario because the left-handed part of a platoon for Texas either at first base or DH. Given that Moreland is entitled to arbitration in 2014, however, its even the case he (i.e. McGuine s) could be a cheap replacement for him (i.e. Moreland) at that time.SCOUT Leaderboards: Arizona Fall LeagueBelow are the SCOUT leaderboards for that Arizona Fall League, current through Saturday.
