Francisco Rodriguez had a bad year in 2009 and it wasn't the first in his career. I've heard all the reasons like Mets did him in, not use to the National League, or he was injured. Sure those can be reasons, but the facts are he stunk in 2009. Rodriguez has battled consistency various times in his career. When he is on, he is the most confident closer in MLB and dominates any opponent. When is is off, he misses spots, looks wild, and lacks the eat or be eaten philosophy. Considering his past and talent, KROD will come back in 2010. He will have a great season with the Mets, but I'm not saying the Mets will have a great season. The Mets offense will flourish with out all the injuries and their pitching will ONLY get better. My projections are conservative, but he could get 50 if he gets hot this season.


The True Guru Strategy: His ADP has him going in the seventh round. I feel he's a safe pick as early as the sixth round. Draft him with confidence, he will produce for your fantasy team.
