Dynasty: Rainiel Rodriguez. The FanRanked staff dynasty board has Rodriguez ahead, Rodriguez #78 and Cholowsky #187, and the expert consensus agrees (#140 and #165). The community rates them even, FRV 54.3 and 53.1.
JD on Rainiel Rodriguez (Sep 17, 2026): Rainiel may have put up one of the best full season stat lines for a teenager in AA this year - .328/.408/.591 - and I still don't think he is getting enough credit for hit. He potentially the best hit tools in the minors, and I think he has a real chance to be a contributor at the big league level as a 20 year old in 2027. I would buy him wherever you can, and there is only a handful of rookie eligible guys I wouldn't trade straight up for him. (Made, Leo, Jenkins)
JD on Roch Cholowsky (Aug 25, 2026): Roch has stumbled over himself in his first taste of professional baseball, slashing .167/.326/.333, 46 plate appearances in high A. The aggressive assignment isn't helping the optics either, as he was touted as a very advanced bat who should have no problem in the lower levels of the minor leagues. Largely I'm holding firm on him although I am hedging his ranking a little bit because there are just prospects who are more exciting to me that I'd probably rather pick in a first-year player draft right now (Burress).
