I am surprised that Law has Emma at 31 since he generally is so picky about hitting flaws and ER has some anomalies with the passive approach and swing and miss in zone.  The production has always been there but the Majors really expose any flaws a hitter has.  I like Rodriguez a lot  but wouldn't have him at 31, but that is just my opinion. The injuries also cloud the ups and downs of a full season as it wears players down.  I love that he has 4 Twins in essentially the top 50.  Maybe we can finally have a another star player or two?

The swing and miss in zone is the biggest of red flags for me.

In the MLB, you will be challenged in zone and will need to be able to hit in zone.

I fear Emma is going to be chewed up and spit out in the MLB

Keith Law favors ceiling in his rankings. Emma has a ton of ceiling and he's shown it with crazy exit velocities and athleticism. The likelihood Rodriguez washes out feels very high to me as well. In any case, I'm not sure what value there is keeping him in AAA. Either he's got it or he doesn't.

Someday, when he returns from thumb injury # 865, perhaps he'll get some MLB plate appearances.
