K-Rod Hurt? (Merged)

[Giambis]

From rotoworld:
Francisco Rodriguez left Monday's game in the ninth inning with an apparent ankle injury.

K-Rod probably wasn't hurt anymore than usual, but he had blown the save by allowing two runs against the Indians, and the Angels wanted Scot Shields in there before things could get any worse. Given the way Rodriguez was struggling, he might benefit from a couple of weeks off. If it happens, either Justin Speier or Shields would close. Shields would normally be the backup, but Speier is the better pitcher right now.

Who do you guys like as insurance, Shields or Speier?

Very bad news. I lost Putz last week and now K-rod. This is not good....

Shields.

With his violent mechanics, I'm surprised this hadn't happened sooner.

And once again, this is further reason why you never draft closers early.

""At this point, I think I need to go on the disabled list," Rodriguez said after one of the worst outings of his career."

Shields.

hes now saying that his 1 ankle he injured last August and it has hurt since, even all thru Winter Ball (well then why in the H-LL did they let him play winter ball? if he was already inj...) but now his OTHER ankle is also twisted. and using all arm in delivery, no legs...plz get him on the DL b4 he tommy johns himself...plz Scoscia, give the kid time to heal!!

[HasteTheDay]

Wow, he's a mess right now. He really needs to rest up, and only come back when he is 100% before he really hurts himself.
