Rodney Blows

I used a similar argument to defend Rodney. Last year, sure he pitched well. He had a 2.85 ERA last year, so his save rate was justified, but with an ERA of 7, that's going to catch up to him.

I think it's more that his WHIP caught up with him...when you're allowing baserunners as much as he does (his WHIP was worse than the AL average last year), I don't think you'd expect sustained success.

Yep he walks at the end of the year. Until then we just enjoy the ride.

I'm not sure "enjoy" is the right word...

That's what happens when your only good pitch is a fastball at a ZOGMF STAGGERING 95-96 mph... I guess if he could zip them in there at 100 I'd be impressed.

So, he's this teams Jose Mesa....

I love it how I keep hearing everyone say that Rodney is the only one we have with an official "out" pitch. Last time I checked, HE CANT GET ANYBODY OUT!!!

But but but ... he's saved a lot of games the last couple years!
