An inside sourse has informed me that Kinsler will play left as Profar plays second and Murphy will play center.

If Murphy could handle CF duties regularly, it could work. Not sure that's the case, though. Profar at 2B and Kinsler in LF is a possibility but it's waaaaay too early for the Rangers to decide that this was definitely going to be the case. It makes sense to see what's out there on the trade and free agent market first.

ryan sweeney or scott poidesednick is who i would target to play CF and bat leadoff

They should consider putting Andrus in CF. Its a pretty natural transition for a SS.

does anyone know where Kinsler is going to play this season... I hope he goes to LF with Profar at 2B and Leonis Martin at CF... But that may be too prospect heavy of a lineup... What do you guys think...

They have signed Lance Berkman 1 yr 10-20 million

Kinsler will play 1b or 2b. More than likely 2b.

worst bullpen in the div not counting houston.

this isnt a playoff team. oak+laa are so far ahead of them its not funny, texas will be battling to finish ahead of seattle this year.
