A highly-prized prospect for his combination of power and speed, Rodriguez was a free-agent prize when he was stolen by the Reds as a Latin American free agent in 2008. A very young and very raw talent, he probably has the highest ceiling of any hitter in the Reds' system... but he's a long way from polished or proven. Before he can move up through the minors, he'll need to learn to hit breaking balls, and to stop swinging at everything he can reach. He slugged .393 in A-level Dayton, clubbing 7 homers and stealing 20 bases in 79 starts. That's 15/40 in a full season, which is just about right for a modern centerfielder. He's still a few years away from the Bigs, though, so hold your horses.
