Rangers to use Kinsler at 2B, Moreland at 1B
Ian Kinsler - 2B - Texas Rangers
Jan. 7, 2013 - 8:55 PM ET

Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said Monday that the plan is to use Ian Kinsler at second base and Mitch Moreland at first base.

"It's better that way," Daniels said. The Rangers were considering the idea of moving Kinsler to first base and installing Jurickson Profar as the second baseman, but they've decided against it. That means that both Profar and Mike Olt are likely to begin the season in the minors following the signing of Lance Berkman.
