Free agent projections are out, and so it is that time again — time for the annual “should the Rangers sign This Player” polls.
Today, we are looking at first baseman Ryan O’Hearn.
O’Hearn is a 32 year old lefthanded hitting 1B/DH. He did not hit while with the Royals, where he spent parts of five seasons, but over the last three years has slashed .277/.343/.445, good for an aggregate 5.6 bWAR, while primarily in a platoon role.
Over at Fangraphs, Ben Clemens projects O’Hearn at 2 years, $30 million as the #27 free agent on their list, while the median crowdsource also has O’Hearn at 2 years, $24 million. At ESPN, Kiley McDaniel has O’Hearn at #29 and projects him at 2 years, $27 million. Keith Law has O’Hearn at #19 on his rankings, and suggests he could get a three year deal.
