I feel old. Came across this story about ex-MarlinPudge Rodriguz watching his son, Dereck, take part in the Minnesota Twins’ instructional league in Fort Myers. The Twins drafted Dereck, an outfielder,  in the sixth round in June. I remember watching father and son play catch in front of the Marlins’ dugout during the 2003 season. Dereck was a spindly 11-year-old then. It struck me how hard Pudge threw the ball at him. You would think he was warming up with a teammate. Wes Helms’ son was a regular in the Marlins clubhouse. He’ll get drafted before I’m eligible for any senior citizen discounts, but I’m sure it won’t feel that way. Speaking of Pudge, who’s a free agent, any thoughts on the Marlins signing him this offseason? He’d love to come back. Would you rather have a John Buck-Pudge Rodriguez duo behind the plate than say Buck and Brett Hayes or John Baker?
