The Angels currently have fan favorite prospect Jose Rojas sitting off of the 40 man roster, which would mean that any team could come in and swoop Rojas off the Angels roster come draft day in December. There is almost an air of guarantee that if the Angels don’t protect Rojas then there will be some team that will come in and take him, and when you look at his developmental progress why wouldn’t anyone want him?
Jose Rojas put together a 31 HR season across 578 Triple A plate appearances in his fourth full season in the minors (2019) and has consistently showed the ability to improve year after year, even on his best attributes.
