Eduardo Rodriguez Is An Upside Risk Selection Late
7 years agoEduardo Rodriguez has consistently had the same pattern every year. At some point during the season, he demonstrates the qualities that justify the hype he received as a prospect. Ultimately, Rodriguez also has annual injury concerns as well. In 2017, Rodriguez again suffered from a knee injury, choosing to undergo surgery in October to resolve the issue. When on the mound, Rodriguez proved he could strike batters out, with 9.83 K/9. He also demonstrated a lack of control with a 3.28 BB/9. Rodriguez is a fly-ball pitcher (42.9%) and accordingly he gives up 1.25 HR/9. Rodriguez has demonstrated that there is hope for optimism. He did have an ERA of 3.54 in the first half, while an injury riddled second half led to a 4.72 ERA. Rodriguez is expected to return from the disabled list around June, so he can be selected near the end of the draft if you have DL spots to stash him. In all dynasty leagues, you should be attempting to acquire Rodriguez at a discount. When he proves fully healthy and can focus on his craft, Rodriguez’ value will undoubtedly increase.
