Time running out for Washington Nationals catcher Ivan Rodriguez?
One of the saddest things in professional sports for a fan to witness is the ultimate decline of a superstar player from yesteryear and that is exactly what’s happening to Washington Nationals catcher Ivan Rodriguez.

2010 Review/Preview- Pudge Rodriguez
2010 Overview: Rodriguez was signed prior to the 2010 season to stabilize a young rotation and provide guidance to the Nats group of young catchers. For the most part, he did the job.

Ivan Rodriguez – Hall Bound?
There are currently 13 catchers in major league baseball’s Hall of Fame. Of these 13 players, five have a career batting average north of .295 and four have hit more than 300 home runs. No player has accomplished both. Let me rephrase that. No player in the Hall of Fame has done both, not Fisk, not Bench, not even Berra. The only player who has is Ivan Rodriguez and unless he...
