Rangers general manager Jon Daniels told reporters Tuesday the team will enter spring training with Nelson Cruz as the starting right fielder, but Daniels said other players will see time in the outfield this spring in case something happens to Cruz, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. While Mitch Moreland is a leading candidate to spell Cruz in right field, Daniels said infield prospects Mike Olt and Jurickson Profar will also get playing time in the outfield. "Down in the Dominican [last week] we saw some of these guys, and our message to them was, 'Whatever your position was in the minor leagues, you're a baseball player now,'" Daniels said. "'Whether you're a middle infielder, you may play on the corner, you may play some outfield. Just be prepared.'"
