Arturo Rodriguez, C/1B/3B/DH Greensboro Grasshoppers (SAL) A Weekly Stats: 9-26 (.346), HR, 2B, 5 RBI, 2 BB Between Dan Uggla in the Rule V draft, to career reclamation projects such as Casey McGehee, the Marlins have made a reputation out of finding creative ways to garner positive production. With Grasshoppers catcher Arturo Rodriguez, the Fish may have done it again. It isn't often that a Mexican League player makes it to Major League Baseball. The reason: Mexican League teams usually want much more than what a player is worth in order to pull back the maximum amount possible in commission (the league makes 75% commission on each player sold) to keep their operations running in impoverished Mexico. Depending on the player in question, the Mexican League has been known to ask of upwards of seven figures in return for the signing rights. So for a player to be pulled out of the Mexican league, especially by a team such as the thrifty Marlins, said player really has to turn heads. In his two full seasons, Rodriguez didn't just turn heads, he broke necks. After hitting an already impressive .279/.344/.431 in his first full season as a professional as a 21-year-old in 2013, all Rodriguez did last season is up his average by a hundred points, his OBP by nearly the same amount, and hit more than twice as many homers in under 130 extra ABs. His .379 average was good for third best in the Mexican League and his .618 slugging percentage and 1.040 OPS each placed fifth. This success at the most advanced level of competetion that Mexico has to offer was enough for the Marlins to invest in Rodriguez. Judging by the success Rodriguez has had through his first 16 games as a member of the organization, the Marlins, who likely spent a pretty penny to acquire him (still unconfirmed), have to be ecstatic about the return their investment has produced thus far. Through is first 56 ABs with the Grasshoppers, Rodriguez has collected 23 hits, including four XBHS and 10 RBIs. As impressive as his .411 BA and .518 SLG are, the middle portion of his slash line is what is most encouraging. As good as Rodriguez was coming up in Mexico, he was never one to take a lot of pitches. He struck out twice as much as he walked in each of his seasons in the Mexican League. However, so far this season, Rodriguez has walked seven times to just four strikeouts, bringing his OBP to .462. As early as the season is, it is still encouraging to see a guy who posted a meager 5.7% walk rate just a season ago who has dealt with the rigors of both relocating and getting accustomed to an entirely new style of baseball improve upon his greatest weakness. If Rodriguez's patience continues to develop, he will be nearly unstoppable at the plate. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvJ0I0ATPAQ] At 6'0", 235, Rodriguez is quite the physical presense but at the plate, he cuts down on what would otherwise be an enlarged strikezone. Resembling another Rodriguez in the box, Rodriguez gets low and leans into the plate in order to get the most of his arm extension on pitches on the outer half. Though he slightly favors pulling the ball, Rodriguez has found success hitting the ball to all fields. Judging by his heat map, he didn't forget to pack that success when he made the trip across the border. Defensively, Rodriguez is a natural catcher. Behind the plate, he strikes fear in the hearts of runners with a good pop transition and an absolute cannon that allowed him to throw out an impressive 28% of his runners as a 21-year-old and an eye popping 40% of his baserunners in 2014. His large frame serves him well behind the dish as he has only allowed four passed balls in his entire career. Even if the Marlins have found their long term answer behind the plate in JT Realmuto, Rodriguez has eligibility at both corner infield spots. His quick reflexes and glove as well as his well above-average arm follow him in to the rest of the field. He has seen most of his time at first base this year with the Grasshoppers. For his size, his 9.25 range factor per game is fantastic. He makes the right decisions when the ball is hit to him as well. So far this year, he has started nine double plays. With Michael Morse only signed through next season, if Rodriguez develops as quickly as his numbers and approach so far suggest he will, he could find himself pulling on a Marlins jersey during spring training within the next two years. Wherever the Marlins see Rodriguez defensively, the thought f a fully developed Rodriguez hitting behind Giancarlo Stanton is scary. Scary but fun.

[youtube Justin Bour racked up the frequent flier miles in 2014, going back and forth from AAA to the majors four times. Wherever the first baseman happened to be on any given week though, he performed well. His first sample of playing with the big boys was a tasty morsel. as he collected 21 hits in his first 74 ABs including his first major league home run in his 31st career game. His performance in the bigs and as well as his best season as a pro in AAA (.308/.372/.517, 18 HR) in 2014 far outdid his projection as a borderline C prospect and probably would have earned him an extended look at first base in spring training this year. But when the Marlins signed Michael Morse to a two-year contract in the offseason, it assured that Bour would begin his ninth year as a professional in the minors. Fast forward to 2015. It appears as though Bour's spurning by the Marlins has motivated him even more. Through 14 games with the Zephyrs, Bour is hitting .275/.403/.353. While the power numbers are down so far, you know they will come to the 6'4" 250 mammoth who has never totaled less than a .436 SLG and 12 homers since his first year in rookie ball. What is most encouraging about Bour's start are his numbers in the patience department which greatly improved last season and have continued to do so far this season. A perennial 100+ strikeout victim over his first three full seasons (and a probable one in 2013 if not for a hairline fracture in his wrist only allowing him to get in to 83 games in which he K'd 63 times), Bour posted a 57/39 K/BB. So far this year, he has done something that would have seemed impossible two years ago: walked more than he has K'd (6/11 K/BB). Since coming to the Marlins from the Cubs' organization, he has improved his BB/K from 0.53 to 0.69, including the at-bats he got in the his first major league experience in 2014. Since his Marlins career has started, Bour has developed the ability to work counts deeper a lot more frequently and has been more selective, which has allowed him to get back to his dead pull hitting roots and pepper the right side of the field. The increase in patience and production that cut his K totals nearly in half and lead to success at the major league level are a testament to the work of both Bour and his coaches. Looking at simple photographs from his last season in the Cubs' organization to his time spent with the Marlins last year, the adjustments Bour has made are obvious. Remaining more upright, Bour is getting the most of what his massive legs can give him. His hands are more in line with the baseball and his shoulders are much more square. He is driving off his back foot on to his plant foot much better allowing him to drive through the zone much more efficiently. All of these positive adjustments have developed a much better approach at the plate and resulted in the most encouraging improvement for Bour: the ability to go the other way, preventing teams from putting the shift on him. His one homer so far this year was hit to an area he did not touch at all in 2014, down the left field line. Bour has come a long way since he struggled mightily to find his swing again after coming off the DL in mid-2013 with the Cubs. He attributes his success to studying video of his swing with his coaches, a practice which followed him all the way to the big leagues. Defensively, Bour is average but his big frame best suits him for a designated hitter role in the AL. That is who he will be trying to attract in his fourth stint as a major leaguer. If he succeeds, Bour could garner surprisingly decent value at the deadline.

Sharif Othman, C Jacksonville Suns (SOU) AA Weekly Stats: 9-20 (.450), 3 2B, 5 RBI, 2 BB, 3 K Since Paul Lo Duca left at the end of the 2005 season, the Marlins have been in search of a cornerstone catcher. While making due with the Miguel Olivos, John Bucks and Ronny Paulinos of the baseball world, the Fish have diligently attempted to acquire one through both a variety of proposed trades (who could forget the exercise in teeth pulling they went through in an effort to pry one away from the Rangers?) and through the draft. From 2006 through 2011 alone, the Marlins drafted 25 different backstops. When it comes to the draft, Miami has proved it will try anything to score a backstop they can lean on, taking catchers at virtually every spot. Over the years, they have taken Kyle Skipworth and Chris Hatcher in the first five rounds, Jobduan Morales and David Peters in rounds 10-15, Gregg Glime and Charles Keefer in rounds 20-30, and Jose Behar and Sharif Othman in rounds 30+. When Skipworth failed to pan out and Hatcher's woes at the plate lead him to become a pitcher, the Marlins were probably a bit shellshocked. But when diamond in the rough candidate Othman, selected 973rd overall in round 32 of the 2011 MLB Draft failed to top the Mendoza Line over his first three years, the front office probably didn't bat an eye. But with what Othman has managed to accomplish already on the young season at the highest level he's ever played at, their eyes are undoubtedly wide open. Although he posted good numbers at the plate during his days at California Baptist University, they were not the kind of numbers that translated well to the next level. Never one to exhibit good patience at the plate, he posted a 124/51 K/BB over his four year college career. As he made the jump to the minors, he left his good slash line behind but the strikeout totals stuck. Over the first three years of his major league career, he struck out an ugly 120 times and walked just 42 times. Entering the 2015 season, the Marlins invited Othman to spring training. He did not get in to a game but that wasn't the point of Othman's summons. Rather it was to allow him to spend time around major league hitters and coaches; be the proverbial sponge. That experience was undoubtedly invaluable for the 26-year-old. After his tenure with the big boys ended on March 17, Othman joined the Suns in Jacksonville. This was when he and hitting coach Rich Arena most evidently went to work on his swing. The adjustments that were made have allowed Othman to get off to a .391/.462/.522 start this year at the highest level he has ever played at. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jC_dB4yVtTM] [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddzrfYfOM1g] Othman's approach at the plate has been nearly entirely modified. He is using a more closed stance which is keeping him from flying open on his swings, utilizing a much shorter stroke and his bat speed through the zone has improved greatly allowing him to catch up to high heat. But perhaps the greatest improvement Othman has made to his approach occurs the second he steps in to the box. Rather than crowding the plate like he has in years past, Othman is standing further off the plate which is complimenting his straight away stance much better and allowing him to get extended on pitches on the outside part of the plate. As you can see, Othman already has nearly as many opposite field hits through is first 23 at bats in AA than he had all of last season between A and A+. On the other side of the ball, Othman has always been heralded for his defensive work behind the plate. In his college career, his quick pop and strong arm allowed him to throw out an impressive 65% of potential base stealers. Othman's strong work behind the plate followed him in to the Marlins' system. Over his first three seasons, he never threw out less than 30% of his victims. Still utilizing his great pop and transfer which was once clocked at an insane 1.87 seconds, Othman has gotten off to another great start this season, gunning down 5 of 10. While it is great to see that he has held on to his great arm, the meal ticket that allowed him to enter the majors, it is even better to see Othman's bat finally arriving. Looking at his stats this year compared to the rest of his career in the minors leads one to think that Othman has come out of nowhere. However, the skill was always there; it just needed a bit of nurturing. Both the work and dedication of Othman himself, of Arena and of the rest of the Suns' coaching staff is more than worthy of recognition. Even this early in the year, when a guy goes from hitting barely .200 for his career to placing himself amongst the league's leading hitters at the most advanced level he's ever taken swings at is nothing short of impressive. Although Othman still has a long season ahead of him and a lot more at-bats to go to prove he can sustain this type of production, the tools are there and a Cinderella story is a definite possibility.
