When the Winston-Salem Dash take the field tonight, they'll have a new prospect to liven up their roster.
Jose Rodriguez is getting the bump from Kannapolis, a well-deserved promotion for the 20-year-old shortstop. Rodriguez hit .283/.328/.452 over 78 games for the Cannon Ballers, with nine homers, four triples, 22 doubles, and 20 stolen bases in 25 attempts. The strikeout rate is also impressive at just 15.8 percent.
He's committed 21 errors in 71 games at short, but only three of them over his last 29 games, which Chris Getz attributes to a refinement in his throwing mechanics. It'll be worth watching to see how the playing time is divided at shortstop between Rodriguez and Lenyn Sosa, although Sosa might be worthy of a promotion to Birmingham himself in short order.
