On long-term talent our Rating reads 38. At 22 Rodríguez is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 6.7 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Rodríguez missed 8 games through injury (thigh, injury) out of roughly 35 this season. The 12 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
