Impact Roden turns 25 this offseason and will likely end up in left field, so he has no margin for error offensively. He has a career .298 average and .407 on-base percentage, but this run at Triple-A represents Roden's top power output (.192 ISO, .509 SLG are career bests) to date. Players with Roden's elite contact skill can sometimes be late bloomers in the power department, and he doesn't need to be added to the 40-man roster as Rule 5 draft protection until next offseason.
