Jurickson Profar looks like a winner to me. He got a homer in his first MLB at bat and later got a double.

Hey Ryan,
My pick is Trevor Bauer. He’s a lock for a rotation spot with the Tribe this year and should make Arizona rue the day they made that trade.

Look for a mid-season call up of Jared Mitchell to push the White Sox into the post season @twilliamgooch
i actually think Manny Machado is the best choice. It not like this years rookie class will be like last years. @bdazzo724
Oscar Taveras
@bja613
Jurickson Profar with the Texas Rangers. Hamilton is gone, somebody’s going to have to step up to the plate. Lots of room for Profar to take the reigns. I’m hoping he doesn’t…Go Angels. @halfbaiked
mike zunino @kcir73

I’m hoping JURICKSON PROFAR will make an impact with my Rangers. He already has shown some good potential and with them opening up spots on the field after this off season with all the trades, I’m hoping he will be the one

Nick Castellanos @gompala
If he gets the opportunity this season it has to be Oscar Taveras @TheWaxFantastic
Anthony Rendon @toemachine
Jurickson Profar – @chipper910
Billy Hamilton, if he gets called up because he has the speed potential to catch up to the Billy Hamilton of the 1880s stolen base amount.
