The Los Angeles Angels have sent 25-year old righty swinging IF/OF Sean Rodriguez to the Rays to complete the Scott Kazmir trade. Rodriguez has played in 103 games in AAA-ball this season and he was 109 for 365 (.299 avg, 1.016 OPS) with 81 runs scored, 29 homers, 93 RBIs and 9 stolen bases. He has also played in 12 games for the Angels this season in which he was 5 for 25 (.200 avg, .716 OPS) with 4 runs scored, 2 homers and 4 RBIs. Rodriguez has played in 71 games in his major league career and he is 39 for 192 (.203 avg, .609 OPS) with 22 runs scored, 5 homers, 14 RBIs and 3 stolen bases. He has had problems making contact at the major league level with 62 strikeouts in his career. Part of the reason for all of the whiffing is the sporadic playing time he got with the Angels. Rodriguez has a lot of upside but it’s not clear where he would play for the Rays as he is a natural 2B.
