Now that the Rangers have signed Lance Berkman, they can focus on the right side of their infield.

The club ended last season with Ian Kinsler at second base and Mitch Moreland at first, an arrangement that seemed in jeopardy as the offseason progressed because of the presence of Jurickson Profar.

There has been speculation that Kinsler might move to first base to make room for Profar, and everything the Rangers have said this winter has only encouraged that speculation.

The idea of getting Profar into the everyday lineup appeared to be an obsession for the Rangers.
