Cincinnati Reds third basemen Alfredo Rodriguez (69) looks down the line.
With Vladimir Gutierrez finally getting his taste of the major leagues today in Chicago, it’s past time for another one of Cincinnati’s languishing prospects to get his opportunity. Cincinnati Reds shortstop prospect Alfredo Rodriguez, who’s now 26-years old, deserves to prove his mettle.
On the other side of the coin, Alex Blandino, who’s been thrust into emergency duty at first base with the absence of both Joey Votto and Mike Moustakas, has shown that he may not have what it takes to compete at the highest level.
