Paco Rodriguez

Rodriguez was a victim of the crowded Dodgers bullpen early in the year, bouncing between Albuquerque and Los Angeles on a few occasions before a back injury sidelined him from early August through mid-September. After being summoned in 76 contests in 2013 and pitching to a 2.32 ERA, it was very surprising to see one of the team's more talented relievers struggling to stay on the roster for a contending club. Rodriguez had a slight drop in his strikeout rate, but still sat at a strikeout per inning, while lowering his walk rate from 3.2 BB/9 in 2013 to 2.6 BB/9 last season. Rodriguez doesn't overpower opposing hitters, but his delivery is very deceptive and has proven to be particularly challenging for lefties, who have hit just .153/.231/.218 against him over the past two seasons. He'll likely have a regular place in the bullpen with the Dodgers for 2015.
