Jurickson Profar and Ryan Rua went into the offseason expecting to split more time at first base this season.

Jurickson Profar is pretty much off first base for now with the Texas Rangers. The team's reunion with slugger Mike Napoli has changed the outlook this season for those young players. It also will likely mean veteran Shin-Soo Choo spending more time as the designated hitter than in the outfield after being plagued by injuries in 2016.
