54. Armando Rodriguez – SP – 22/yrs.
Rodriguez was a much heralded international signee in 2007.
Rodriguez began his pro career in 2007, by impressing at the DSL Mets (2-2, 3.46 in 11 games, 2 starts). He also had 29 Ks in 26.0 IP. He returned to the DSL Mets for the 2008 season, going 4-4, 2.63, 0.97 in 15 games, 13 starts.
In 2009, Rodriguez spent time between Kingsport (3-1, 2.96, 9 starts, 36-K, 45.2-IP) and Savannah (2-1, 2.16, 3 starts, 1-CG, 24-K, 16.2-IP).
His combined 2009 stats were: 5-2, 2.74, 12 starts, 1-CG, 60-K, 29-BB, 62,1-IP.
In September 2009, Rodriguez was ranked as the 40th top Mets prospect by The Hardball Times.
Forecast: Like other players in the DSL or VSL system, there is very little press on them. Rodriquez is slowly moving up the chain without much fanfair. There is a good chance he will return to Savannah for the 2010 seaso, but I’m sure he’ll end the year in Florida, with St. Lucie. Keep an eye on him. One of many talented young relievers currently in the system.
