Love his bat, hate his glove. That sums up the way managers felt about this third-year pro from the Dominican Republic. The younger brother of fellow Baltimore middle infield prospect Ed Rogers, Omar was among the league leaders in several offensive categories, topping the circuit in stolen bases while ranking third in batting average and on-base percentage (.419). He plays hard and managers liked his makeup. Aggressive on the basepaths, Rogers puts constant pressure on opposing defenses. He’s not overly fast but does have above-average quickness. His defensive game is another story. Some managers believe that Rogers' best shot at higher levels will come in a utility role. His arm is a little short, he doesn’t have soft hands and he needs considerable improvement in turning the double play. "His first couple of steps are real quick, and he uses that to his advantage," Bluefield manager Joe Almaraz said. "He's an offensive player who still needs some work, but he did a good job the entire season."
