3. SS Brendan Rodgers (Colorado Rockies)
Strengths:
- Has above average power at the shortstop position
- Has a lot of room to grow was a player
- Excellent bat speed
- Solid hitting approach at such a young age
Weaknesses:
- Production was inconsistent last year
- Might not have the skills to stay at shortstop
- Suffered a leg injury last year
- More of a projection than other players on this list
Verdict:
Many people had Rodgers ranked as the top player in last year’s draft, including myself, because of his potential. He has power that many shortstops don’t and has a pretty advanced approach at the plate for a young hitter. He certainly has the potential to be one of the top players in the game at his position because of the raw talent that he possesses.
