Warning: players who appear in our live prospects listing, but are ranked near the very bottom of the list, may only appear because they were once ranked higher and still technically qualify. As a side-effect of our automated processes, the end of the publicly-visible list also collects longshots, recently-retired players, foreign players unlikely to enter MLB, near-busts and other extreme dark-horse candidates. It does not mean that there are not 'better' prospects, only that better prospects in our system lack enough accurate data and/or scouting inputs to become visible at this time. Always read the detailed information and consult other sources before drawing conclusions about prospect viability, and never, ever, ever treat a 'ranking' alone as if it's meaningful.

A first-round selection by the Giants in 2006, Kiker has been up and down during his development as a Ranger, and lately there's been a little more down than up in his game. He still has a real plus fastball, which once touched 97 but today lives closer to 94, and a better than average changeup. The Rangers need to see him focus and sharpen his command before promoting him, He needs to show some progress soon.
