April 29, 2024

There's a longtime scout who likes to say, "The Draft is hard." The 2014 Draft was very hard. It's just one of three Drafts where the No. 1 overall pick finished his career without reaching the Majors, and the only one where neither of the top two selections made it.

ARLINGTON -- Rangers rookie Wyatt Langford saw the ball hit off the right-center-field wall and turned on the jets. Once he saw third-base coach Tony Beasley aggressively windmilling, he knew he was home free -- quite literally. Langford, the Rangers’ top prospect, is mostly known for his 70-grade power, so
