It’s kind of wild how quickly we can forget what Endy Rodríguez was supposed to be for Pittsburgh — until he starts squaring up baseballs again and the whole roster suddenly looks less stuck in neutral.
Rodríguez is the rare Pirates piece who can change the shape of the lineup and the roster at the same time. This spring, he’s already flashing that impact — hitting .375/.444/.875 with a homer and three RBI in eight at-bats.
It’s a tiny sample, sure, but it’s also the point: when Rodríguez is physically right, the bat plays immediately.
I would give anything for a full season of healthy Endy Rodriguez
