Christopher Bostick

Bostick was drafted by the A's out of high school in the 44th round of the 2011 draft. He spent 2013 starting at second base for Low-A Beloit and slashed .282/.354/.452. Possessing nice speed and a bit of pop, he hit 14 home runs over 489 at-bats, while stealing 25 bases. Bostick will be 21 years old in 2014 and should be the starting second baseman for High-A Myrtle Beach, after his trade to Texas as part of a four-player swap in December. Most likely, his long-term role will be that of a utility infielder, but his path to the big leagues appears to have more roadblocks with his new squad given the Rangers' organizational strength in the middle infield.
