I'd rather get a top up the middle defender in Profar who can slot in at shortstop if Colon eventually needs to move to 2B.

I'm not a huge Perez guy. I k ow he's played "up" levels a lot, against much older players, but he hasn't been that impressive IMO. I like Drabek's makeup and that he's a RH. He also has ace-of-staff potential, and I think he's more likely to get there than Perez.
I know there are questions about Arrencibia's defense, but he and Snider are top of the line hitting prospects and much closer to big league impact than Profar.
Still, if the Rangers can be leveraged into upping the ante to Scheppers, Profar, holland and Perez, how do you top that?
