3 years agoSan Diego Padres shortstop prospect
Eguy Rosario was promoted to the big-league team on Friday and went 0-for-1 in a pinch-hit appearance. The 23-year-old has been having an impressive season for Triple-A El Paso with a .293 batting average to go along with 21 homers, 78 RBI and 20 stolen bases. It's unclear at the moment how much playing time Rosario will be getting, but managers should monitor his status in deeper leagues as a late season waiver wire find that could make a difference with his ability to both hit for power and run on the bases. Dynasty managers should snag Rosario where he is available and that is where his best value will likely stand.

3 years agoSan Diego Padres shortstop prospect
Eguy Rosario went 3-for-4 with a three-run home run in Saturday's contest for Triple-A El Paso. It was his second homer in as many games. Rosario has been putting together a strong season and the Padres fifth ranked prospect is now hitting .280 with 16 homers, 62 RBI and 16 stolen bases. Rosario, 22, is having a breakout season for El Paso, but there hasn't been room for him at the big-league level. The Padres always seem to be involved in trade rumors and Rosario is sure to catch the eye of fellow executives across the league. If Rosario were to stay in the Padres system, he is unlikely to make an impact in redraft leagues in 2022. If he were dealt, he could be an intriguing stash option in redraft leagues, but his best value remains in dynasty leagues. Stay tuned to see what happens with the deadline approaching on August 2.

3 years agoSan Diego Padres infield prospect
Eguy Rosario signed out of the Dominican Republic in 2015 and has slowly but surely climbed through the minor league ranks ever since. Now 22, Rosario is best known for his strong arm and good defensive instincts, which have allowed him to see reps at third base, shortstop, and second base. While he undoubtedly provides value on the left side of the infield, his being undersized could keep him at second base in the majors. Of course, some guys named
Manny Machado and
Fernando Tatis Jr. will also have an impact on Rosario's future position. Offensively, the right-hander has good bat speed and pitch recognition, using these traits to drive the ball into gaps. He's not a big power hitter, though his home run totals have increased nicely over the past few seasons. Rosario put on a show this past week, going 10-for-25 (.400) with four homers, 15 RBI, eight walks, four strikeouts, and two stolen bases over the course of seven games. His big week offered a glimpse into his upside as a player who drives in runs, works walks, and even hits for above-average power.

3 years agoSan Diego Padres second base prospect
Eguy Rosario had a career night for Triple-A El Paso on Wednesday. The 22-year-old went 4-for-5 with three runs, two home runs and six RBI in a victory against Triple-Albuquerque. Rosario is now hitting .241 with five home runs, 20 RBI and 10 stolen bases. Undersized at 5'9, Rosario makes his mark as a better contact hitter than power hitter, but has shown the ability to drive the ball all across the field and has also shown improved plate discipline as he has risen through the Padres system. Rosario is currently blocked at the big-league level and unlikely to make an impact in 2022. Without offering much power, he's just a name for dynasty managers to keep an eye on at the moment, but doesn't warrant being rostered.
