Jose Rodriguez

For the second year in a row, Rodriguez got off to a cool start to the season and ended on fire, upping his prospect stock heading into the offseason. The 21-year-old middle infielder hit .300/.364/.459 with 10 home runs, 38 steals (81% success rate) and a 12.3 K% in his final 83 games at Double-A. He is prone to chasing, but he has above-average raw power and an 85.0 Contact%, so his physical abilities have covered up his weaknesses. Rodriguez's game has a chance to really play up in standard 5x5 roto, as he could hit for a high AVG with a mediocre OBP and a ton of speed if he gets regular work. Unfortunately, his middling OBP projection and fringe-average defense up the middle could relegate him to utility work on a first-division team. Rodriguez is on the 40-man roster, so it's possible he could get an audition in the majors sometime this summer. Read Past Outlooks
