The Braves
selected Rodriguez with the 12th pick of the Triple-A phase of the Rule 5 draft.
ANALYSIS
Rodriguez's abilities behind the plate caught the Braves' eye, but the 24-year-old's offensive shortcoming may prevent him from ever becoming anything more than organizational depth. He's just a .225/.323/.317 career hitter in the minors, with only four home runs in 596 plate appearances.
