Brendan Rodgers, the Rockies top prospect, is ready to make a name for himself and let his actions speak louder than words. Thomas Harding provides some insight on Rodgers entering his first Spring Training camp with high expectations surrounding his quick advancement through the Rockies’ system.
Harding also spoke to Bud Black and learned the young shortstop will likely start the year in Double-A again — but he could be only an injury away from a call-up. If Brendan continues to hit the ball well and handle major league competition this spring, it wouldn’t surprise me to see him on the 25-man roster, one way or another, by August.
