Rodriguez has one of the more high-end packages in all of the minors. When you watch Rodriguez play his tools are easy to spot. What also stands out are his intangibles–grit, determination, confidence, and love for the game. His floor is very high with his ability to control the zone, find the barrel and play right field at an above-average level. But Rodriguez sure looks like he is on the path of perennial All-Star.
