I do, but he was certainly nothing special.
Definitely not worth an entire topic about him.

what happened to him? any idea?
Judging from his record id just say he wasnt good enough to continue playing in the majors. Cant find out anything he did afterwards though.

He was "Frankie Rodriguez" to Red Sox radio announcer Joe Castiglione. He was the ballyhooed shortstop of the future as a teenager but they converted him to pitcher after his first pro season.
At baseball-reference he is "Frankie Rodriguez" in the minors, 1991-95 (http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=rodrig002fra).

I have an old Baseball Cards magazine that has Frankie Rodriguez on the front cover. He was a ballyhooed prospect, but he just completely bombed at the high minors and never fully advanced from there.
