Julio Rodriguez, 2021 Fantasy Outlook

On July 16th of this godforsaken year, Julio Rodriguez suffered a hairline fracture of his wrist. Why? Because 2020 was the year no one saw coming, hindsight be damned. Pack up your suitcases and move in with your most charitable, rich relative, we'll come out of this thing at some point in the future. Wake me up then, 'kay? A wrist fracture feels like the end of the story for 2021, as well. Julio Rodriguez is 19 years old. Losing a year of development, puts him behind the eight ball, as they say in pool halls. Take a year to get back to where he was this year, and get back to me. I'm living with my rich cousin who invented the app that skips ahead of the personal stories on all recipe blogs. Unless Julio Rodriguez is a *whispers* phenom. *checks notes, slowly raises head, eyes watery* He is a...dot dot dot...dramatic pause...big gulp...orders again, "Can I get a Big Gulp?" Sorry, I'm typing this up at 7-11. Yes, he's a phenom! Oh, yeah, Julio Rodriguez is a phenom. He. Is. A. Phenom. Yes, the one-word douchey sentences. On Prospect Itch's top 100 fantasy baseball prospects in redraft leagues, Julio Rodriguez was 3rd overall. He would've been my number one rookie coming into 2021 fantasy baseball, if I had any faith in the Mariners promoting Julio Rodriguez to start the season. My biggest concern is playing time. Otherwise, he's a lock. There's at least a 50% chance Juli-Rodrigu (what friends call him) keeps his prospect status for 2022 and I'm back here at this time next year saying he's the best rookie going into next season which will be two seasons from now, and not confusing at all. So, what can we expect from Julio Rodriguez for 2021 fantasy baseball?
