Texas Rangers third baseman Josh Jung was part of a minor car accident on his way to the ballpark Saturday but was uninjured. He was not in the lineup for Saturday's game, however.

He's currently ranked as RotoBaller's 20th-best third baseman, though he has the potential to finish higher ...

Although he may be a bat-first player, Jung's defense is quite impressive, too. The 24-year-old has a slick glove at the hot corner and pairs it up nicely with his strong ...
