If you missed the Futures Game on Sunday, then you missed a chance to get a glimpse at the next wave of baseball's stars. If you're a Rangers fan and you missed the Futures Game, well, you missed a chance to see the top position prospect in all of baseball, who just happens to be a Ranger -- Jurickson Profar.
Profar homered in his first at bat, off of the U.S. team's starter, Jake Odorizzi. Profar finished the day 2-3, and came out midway through the game, so that the world could get a glimpse at Indians shortstop prospect, Francisco Lindor.
Still, Profar made the most of his opportunity, so much so that he impressed one of Baseball America's writers quite a bit:
Not a surprise, but the most impressive prospect in the Futures Game was Jurickson Profar. Love Dylan Bundy, but I'd rather have Profar.

Bundy, of course, is the game's top pitching prospect. We can expect to hear a lot of this Profar vs. Bundy debate over the winter, as top 100 prospect lists come out.
For my money, I'll take Profar, despite how impressive Bundy has been.
