Former Missouri Tiger Ian Kinsler has been named the "Diamond in the Rough" by At the Yard, a publication devoted to Minor League Baseball.
Kinsler was a shortstop at Mizzou in 2003 before being drafted in the 17th round of the Major League Baseball Draft. After only a year in the Texas Rangers organization, he has already moved up to the Double-A level, playing for the Frico RoughRiders.
