Background: The organization's top prospect a year ago, Rose's ascension to the major league rotation was derailed by injury. He wasn't himself all spring or summer, though his year didn't officially end until midseason, when doctors found bone spurs and a hairline fracture in his elbow. He had averaged 165 innings a year in his first three professional seasons. Strengths: When healthy, Rose has the complete package of a front-of-the-rotation starter. He's aggressive and mixes a solid average fastball, two good breaking balls and a changeup well. His easy delivery would seem to bode well for bouncing back from his injury. Weaknesses: Again, the package is pretty complete. Rose just has to prove he is fully recovered, then that he can get big league hitters out. The Future: His elbow is said to be healthy, and Rose was rehabbing this fall. He will again go to spring training to win a spot in the big league rotation.
