I have visions of Roden as leadoff hitter vs RHP next year. Optimistic? Sure but he had a .411 OBP in AAA in the second half of the season and a .414 OBP against RHP all year long. Think if you have Roden, Horwitz, Vlad near top of the order, you are going to get a lot of baserunners.

I could see Roden playing a role next season for sure, although with the glut of position players on the 40 man, I can't see him making the team outright barring a monster spring.
The org sure likes him, you see it in his aggressive promotions and lineup positioning. He has to be added to the 40 man next year, so barring injury, he seems a lock to play in the bigs.
Right now, I think Lukes has first dibs on the role you described Glevin.

Yesterdays first star Alan Roden has been placed on the IL. I am not sure if it is an injury or he just needs to get out of town early.

Braden Barry from Dunedin is up for the last three games of the season.

Some interesting positional experimentation to end the year too, with Roden getting CF time and Palmegiani in LF.

Roden jumped for a ball going over the wall, looked like he twisted his ankle when he landed.
