Two years ago, I even wrote an article for the Toronto Sun newspaper that spoke highly of him. ![]() As a Canadian, I cover Jays prospects a lot so I've been familiar with the infielder since he was drafted in 2007. Brad Emaus, 2B/3B (New York NL from Toronto)Įmaus was the one position player that I just didn't understand why he was left unprotected. He should serve as a long man out of the Astros 'pen in 2011 but with some experience and good coaching he could reach his ceiling as a No. Rodriguez' fastball ranges from 88-94 mph and both his secondary pitches - breaking ball and changeup - are average offerings right now. He started 17 games and came out of the bullpen for another 10. ![]() The right-hander recently turned 23 and spent the majority of 2010 in triple-A where he posted a 4.04 FIP in 113.2 innings. 3 starter and those types of prospects (sadly) are far and few between in the Astros system. I recently completed Houston's list at and he'd probably slide in after Vincent Velasquez, who's out after Tommy John surgery. Aneury Rodriguez, RHP (Houston from Tampa Bay)Īs weird as it might sound, Rodriguez is probably talented enough to land on Houston's Top 10 prospect list for 2011. This year, though, teams were able to unearth a few gems. The 2009 Rule 5 draft was an absolute yawn. The Rule 5 draft has lost some luster since the MLB Collective Bargaining Agreement was re-worked to allow teams an extra year of control before having to add minor league players to the 40-man roster or expose them to the draft.
