Frisco RoughRiders outfielder Lewis Brinson, one of the top prospects in the Rangers' organization, got a taste of life at the big league level last weekend when he participated in two scrimmages at Globe Life Park in Arlington.

After he spent so much time at the Major League camp this spring, to see what life is like across town was a bit of a tease for Brinson as he settles in to start the season at the Double-A affiliate.

"Obviously that's where I want to be. That was an awesome feeling to get on the field and get on the big-league field," Brinson reminisced at the RoughRiders' media day Tuesday. "It wasn't a capacity crowd but it was enough to kind of get my jitters going and get adrenaline going even though it didn't mean anything.

"That stadium is awesome and I can't wait to be there."

But Brinson still enjoys himself in Frisco. He started 2015 at Class High-A in California with the High Desert Magic, where he hit .337 with 13 home runs and 42 RBIs. He moved up to Double-A in Frisco and adjusted in his lone month in Texas to hit .291 before he finished the season on an eight-game barn burner through Triple-A Round Rock.

Back in Frisco now, Brinson stood in his untarnished blue uniform on the fresh-pressed grass and stared at the towering video board in center field of Dr. Pepper Stadium, not taking the present for granted even after he got a taste of the future.

He stood confidently at 6-foot-3 in front of a group of reporters and deflected questions about his status within the Rangers' farm system, instead focused on what he can do to help the RoughRiders and enjoy his current surroundings.

"This park is awesome. This town is awesome. There's always stuff to do and plenty of places to eat. Very clean city."

But there is one aspect of the local scene that Brinson can't quite get behind. The Florida-native remembers the championship bouts between the Dallas Mavericks and his beloved Miami Heat and was not afraid to tell the truth when asked about his loyalties.

"I've got that question a lot. I'm still a Miami Heat fan for all you Dallas fans out there," Brinson declared.

This is not out of character for Brinson, who previously talked about his love for former Heat player LeBron James. But he is willing to make an exception for the new local team on one condition.

"I do like Dirk Nowitzki even though him and Dwayne Wade had a little beef," Brinson joked. "I will continue to be a Miami Heat fan but if they're not playing the Heat I will root for the Mavericks."
