Fernando Rodney remains the closer despite struggling

by Bobby Doll | Mon, May 1st 9:36am EDT

Fernando Rodney has converted six of his eight save chances but carries a 12.60 ERA and 2.30 WHIP. Nonetheless, Manager Toney Lovullo is backing Rodney as the closer.

Fantasy Impact:

Rodney's season has not been pretty but he's gotten considerably unlucky. His BABIP against is .467 right now; his strand rate is 42.5%; and his HR/FB rate is 20%. All of these, and more, contribute to his 5.42 FIP and 4.48 xFIP. Rodney isn't the best closer out there, but he's better than this and should continue to see save chances as his stats regress to the mean.
