With most clubs, the baby-faced Nelson Rada would be a long shot to make the opening day roster. Just 20-years-old, Rada would be one of the youngest players in the league if he ends up breaking camp as a member of the big league roster. This is the Los Angeles Angels we're talking about, though, and they aren't known for patience with their top prospects.
However, if Rada does manage to break through and claim the starting center field job out of spring training, it won't be simply because the Angels are rushing him through. The Venezuelan speedster has drawn attention for his base stealing prowess, being named as one of the prospects most likely to lead the league in stolen bases in the future.
