Don't look to Francisco Rodriguez for saves
by Al Melchior | Data Analyst

Though Jim Henderson has been just fine as the Brewers' closer, some Fantasy owners might see the promotion of Francisco Rodriguez to the major-league roster as a sign that he could eventually supplant him. Should Henderson falter, Rodriguez could get a chance to handle the closer's job, but even if that remote possibility pans out, that doesn't mean that the veteran would thrive in his customary role.

Last season, Rodriguez notched a strikeout per inning, and his ERA would have been considerably lower than 4.38 if not for a 69 percent strand rate. However, Rodriguez relied on a higher rate of foul balls to maintain his K-rate, and meanwhile, his swinging strike rate fell from 13 percent in 2011 to 9 percent in 2012.

Unless Rodriguez can find a way to avoid contact at a higher rate, he could have a hard time maintaining a high strikeout rate. At risk of allowing more hits and runs, Rodriguez could be a very ordinary reliever this year -- and one not quite effective enough to hold down a prominent role.

Rodriguez tossed four scoreless innings over four appearances between Class A Brevard County and Nashville. He struck out seven, allowed one hit and walked three.

by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com

The Brewers will activate pitcher Francisco Rodriguez at Class A Brevard County Tuesday. 

K-Rod will plan on pitching three times in Class A, and hope to be promoted to Triple-A Nashville to continue building his arm. The club has 30 days to make a decision on whether they want to promote Rodriguez to the major-league club.
