The article discusses the possibility of Francisco Rodriguez being inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. It highlights his impressive career statistics, including his ranking as number 4 all-time in saves, and his on-field achievements such as All-Star selections, Cy Young votes, and a World Series ring. However, it also acknowledges his controversial off-field behavior, which may affect his chances of induction.
Sorry, we’ve had a couple of days away from the world in the lovely town of Canmore, Alberta. But then the Jays haven’t done much in the last few days, too. They did make the Yimi Garcia signing official and announced that Nick Raposo, a catcher, was DFAed to make room. They also signed Eric Lauer to a minor league contract. If he makes the Jays, he will receive $2.2 million. He is a lefty reliever, who has pitched parts of six seasons in the MLB with the Padres and Brewers.
He made six All-Star teams, got Cy Young votes three times and had MVP votes once . Rodriguez was on playoff teams six times and owns one World Series ring. Career he held batters to a .207/.287/.341 line, which is pretty impressive. He threw a mid-90s fastball and a 12-to-6 curve. Francisco got into trouble with opponents and, sometimes, teammates with his on-the-mound displays of emotions. It seems that, when he played, Spanish-speaking players got that type of complaint.
