Of course, I could be wrong, but I haven't seen any information indicating otherwise. <br /><br />In fact, I didn't even know there was an MLB catcher named Henry Rodriguez. I know there was an outfielder by that name and that during his time in Montreal they used to throw O'Henry candy bars on the field in his honor. But, I don't think there is any relation. <br /><br />Anyway, thanks for the comment!<br /><br />Best,<br />LarkLark11https://www.blogger.com/profile/06571198327064220683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6347536209014288641.post-32907071199804543552011-02-12T11:44:33.365-08:002011-02-12T11:44:33.365-08:00Is Henry any relation to Henry Rodriguez, the long...Is Henry any relation to Henry Rodriguez, the longtime major league catcher?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6347536209014288641.post-17149856153357877682011-02-12T11:44:25.893-08:002011-02-12T11:44:25.893-08:00Smitty & VottoFan,

Bodes well for his career if he can be above average at an up the middle defensive position. Add in his switch-hitting ability and his sneaky good power and we may have something here. <br /><br />Thanks for the comments!<br /><br />Best,<br />LarkLark11https://www.blogger.com/profile/06571198327064220683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6347536209014288641.post-75725662836498442592011-02-10T13:55:23.060-08:002011-02-10T13:55:23.060-08:00I saw it.

I think that's something of a red flag, but it gets a bit more tolerable when it comes from an up the middle position. Add in his power, speed, and switch-hitting ability and he's got quite an intriguing future ahead of him. <br /><br />And, even if he tops out as a versatile utility player at the MLB level, then I suppose you'd have to be pretty happy with it from your #14 overall prospect. <br /><br />It'll be interesting to see how he does at high-A next year, especially since Bakersfield is reported to be a substandard playing field. It might not be the best situation, but he'll have to persevere. <br /><br />Anyway, thanks for the comment!<br /><br />Best,<br />LarkLark11https://www.blogger.com/profile/06571198327064220683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6347536209014288641.post-18488848443459528152011-02-02T19:42:29.540-08:002011-02-02T19:42:29.540-08:00rodriguez has a really nice ceiling but i just get...rodriguez has a really nice ceiling but i just get the feeling he will only ever be a good utility man if he makes the majors.
