Rainiel Rodriguez Fast-Tracking to St. Louis

19-year-old catcher Rainiel Rodriguez, now the #1 prospect in the system, won Texas League Player of the Week with 3 HR and .526 BA. He has 15 HR and .888 OPS at Double-A, and recently hit his 4th homer in 6 games. His rapid rise creates a catcher logjam (Crooks, Bernal, Campos) and potential trade or position change. He could impact the big league club soon. The Double-A roster article highlights him as a key piece of the rebuild.
