Newsbreakers

December 2, 2009

The Indians have signed infielder Luis Rodriguez to a minor league contract.

Our View:

The former Padre refused an assignment to Triple-A and became a free agent in October. The 29-year-old infielder hit .202 with two homers 16 RBI last year and will get an invite to spring training.

October 13, 2009

The Associated Press is reporting that Luis Rodriguez and Eliezer Alfonzo have elected free agency after the Padres outrighted their contracts to Triple-A. The team also outrighted Josh Geer and Drew Macias, who accepted the assignment.

Our View:

Rodruguez hit .202 in 93 games with the team this past season, and Alfonzo played in only 37 games and hit .175. The Padres should be able to manage just fine without these two players.

June 12, 2009

Luis Rodriguez has been activated from the 15-day disabled list and will join the club in Anaheim on Friday for the team's interleague series against the Angels according to the San Diego Union-Tribune. Wade LeBlanc was sent down to Triple-A Portland to make room for him on the roster.

Our View:

Rodriguez will provide infield depth for the Padres, but nothing for fantasy owners. There's no need to keep him on your radar at this time.

June 7, 2009

Luis Rodriguez started a rehab assignment at Single-A Saturday, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune. He has been recovering from a sprained left ankle.

Our View:

Rodriguez could come off the DL as early as Monday, but it is uncertain how many at-bats he will need during his rehab stint before being deemed fit to return to San Diego.

May 14, 2009

Luis Rodriguez could be bound for the DL due to a severely sprained ankle, according to MLB.com.

Our View:

He did not suffer a break, but is in a great deal of pain. Chris Burke will be a likely candidate to replace him at shortstop. Rodriguez made two fielding errors over 24 starts, and is only hitting .256 over 78 at-bats. He won't be missed in fantasy leagues if placed on the DL.

April 26, 2009

Second baseman Luis Rodriguez is out of the lineup on Sunday and is likely unavailable to play, the San Diego Union-Tribune notes. He was hospitalized overnight on Saturday due to an allergic reaction.

Our View:

We imagine that Rodriguez may miss another game or two. Anyway, he isn't even useful in most NL-only leagues.

April 25, 2009

MLB.com reports that Luis Rodriguez was sent to the hospital prior to Saturday's game after having an allergic reaction to something he ate. He is believed to be doing ok.

Our View:

Rodriguez figures to be back in the starting lineup for the Padres before too long. However, he has minimal fantasy value.

April 9, 2009

Luis Rodriguez made the most of his only at-bat on Thursday, doubling home the game-winning run in the eighth inning of the Padres 4-3 comeback win over the Dodgers.

Our View:

The 28-year-old Rodriguez hit .287 in 64 games a season ago and appears as if he'll get ample opportunity to make his mark as a utility infielder in 2009. He's played in all four games this season, mostly as a replacement for either third baseman Edgar Gonzalez or shortstop Everth Cabrera.
