Why Fernando Rodriguez? I thought Oakland was more creative and would consider Venditte (younger than Rodriguez btw) who’s ERA is all of 1.10 in 16 innings and a long MiLB track record to back it up. Rodriguez has a 4.52 career MiLB ERA and a matching 4.62 MLB tally and neither were on the 40-man. Not impressed Oakland.

Have you seen him pitch?
Venditte doesnt have major league stuff imo.
additionally, Venditte owns only a 1.56 k’s/bb this season in AAA despite the ERA… which doesn’t really matter.

agree with your assessment, agureghian – and Rodriguez looked good in his two innings against the Twins this Thursday, May 7.
