Word is that Ian Kinsler is willing to move positions because the rangers top prospect is a damn good 2nd baseman, maybe the best prospect in baseball.

You think they would be open to a deal?

I would trade Gary Brown and maybe some other prospects for this dude. and they pick up some of kinsler's 75 million contract

I'm guessing you're talking about Jurickson Profar. He is a SS

hes gonna be a 2B with Elvis Andrus @ SS

Edit: they could move Andrus too... personally I would love to a guy like Elvis on our team.... you'd have to figure out what to do with crawford... I don't see why Craw couldn't play 2nd base ?

Crawford at 2b is a waste of ability and arm. Even if Texas was willing to deal Andrus, itd deplete our farm system. I think the Giants are more than happy to stick with Crawford at SS heading into the future. He made some major strides this year.

Thats kinda why I would prefer Kinsler. Crawford and Kinsler up the middle.
Give up Gary Brown - take on 60% of the rest of the contract, 10 Mill a year for a guy who has the potential to hit 20 HRs and Steal 20 Bases from a middle infield position....

all just speculative / fun of course.

John Sickles
Giants top 20 prospects 2013
1) Kyle Crick, RHP, Grade B+: There are a few control issues to address, but I'm a big fan of his stuff, size, fresh arm, and San Francisco's track record of developing similar prospects.

2) Chris Stratton, RHP, Grade B+: He was one of my favorite college pitchers from the 2012 draft. I felt he was a real steal at 20th overall.

3) Clayton Blackburn, RHP, Grade B+: I don't understand the reluctance among prospect watchers to give this guy his due. Sure, he's physically mature and not projectable. But he already has good stuff, his command is outstanding, and he dominated Low-A one year out of high school.

4) Gary Brown, OF, Grade B: Borderline B-. For a guy who runs as well as he does, he sure gets caught stealing a lot. I think he's a better hitter than he showed last year, but not as good as his Cal League-inflated stats in '11. Glove and legs will get him to the majors even if his bat disappoints, perhaps long enough for him to make the necessary adjustments to stay in the lineup.

5) Joe Panik, SS, Grade B-: He wasn't terrific at San Jose and the grade drops one notch from last year's B, but I still like his instincts, makeup, contact skills, and chances to adapt at higher levels.

6) Heath Hembree, RHP, Grade B-: Command and injury issues hampered him in Triple-A, but he looked back to normal in the Arizona Fall League. Expect he can help in the bullpen in '13.

7) Mike Kickham, LHP, Grade B-: I've liked him since he was in college, nice power lefty arm. Command still needs some work, but I trust the Giants to develop him more than most teams.

Decent pitching prospects but the Giants hitting prospects are possibly the worst in baseball. This team needs to draft corner outfielders and more corner outfielders. It really is sad that the Giants do not have 1 everyday prospect in the organization that is a sure thing at the major league level.
